Monitor problem..

pezton · Mar 30, 2003, 07:03 AM

I have a monitor here on the floor witch i gave up some months ago.
Today I made a decision to investigate it a little bit more.
I turned on the monitor and the same problem was there.
Anyway, this is how it happened before:

The monitor suddently popped and half of the picture was missing.
Its bowed in , in a circular form.. like u see on old televisions thats ready to
give up. Hard to explain. But perhaps someone can help me

Just the left of the screen.. 2/10 of the screen, and perhaps a little bit on
the right side.

Should i give up the monitor. Or is there some hardware-tweaking that
i can try?

Its a DELL monitor : model : D1025HE

I suck at english, but I hope you will understand

Any help is appreciated.

/Daniel

take it to a TV repair shop and ask of they work on montiors thats it only hope ... you've got hardware problems inside the monitor .. its that or junk it

1st, Don't try to do anything yourself, it's far too dangerous.

My advice would be to just buy a new one.

I once had a monitor go bad . . . the picture was extremely bright and pale, with some lines across.
I tried to see if someone could repair it, but everywhere I looked, they said I should just buy a new one,
because the cost of the repair would be almost the same as the cost of a new monitor.

But maybe your problem isn't as bad as mine was, you can check with a repair shop

if a monitor does anything like that to me i just get rid of it, the cost of repairing it probably wouldn't be much less than the cost of buying a new one anyways.

Okay

thanks for your advice. I have another monitor right now.. a old Fujitsu ICL ErgoPro 171p 17" . But it gets blury in high resolutions. Maximum res: 1280x1024. at 70 Hz. But it works.

.. on the Dell monitor.. Can it be a Fuse that have popped? :P

In a manual-page I found out that the Fujitsu 171p Monitor could use 1280x1024 with "75 Hz" resolution. But in the control panel i can only use 70 Hz. How come? =/

it may support it but not be quite stabe, there should be a checkbox around the refresh settings that says "only show compatible refresh rates" or something like that. uncheck it if you wanna play around, but be careful.....
