Is someone there who knows how to repair PC-monitors?

I alredy work trading and repairing computer parts but monitors and printers alike are just as "hidden secrets" for me. I just wanna know "where or how" to start... Whichever reading (Method, electronics manual, basics) you can suggest me to start learning, would be very appreciated :D

Cya!

Monitors are something serious... My father always warns me not to open those kind of devices because they handle a huge amount of power inside that surely can kill me.

I have like 2 or 3 monitors here on my house that are damaged and technicians couldn't do anything for them... They're junk now... I think it's better to buy another new one than spend money trying to fix them...

[Oesoto]

I had a monitor that started to fail after 5 years of use. It was repaired 3 times and some weeks after each repair it failed again showing exactly the same problem.
I had to buy a new and better monitor. I haven't tried to open it because I'm afraid of the power that these devices have even when they are turned off.

Waaaaoooo!! i didn't know that monitors can kill someone :huh: !!! thanks 4 the Advice !! ;)

[-CHULI-]

the monitors and the power supplies represent a full danger for us, this components never must open, the electrical circuit ( reel) generate a power of 10000 watts in some cases...........

[Oesoto]

So how do technicians open, manipulate and fix those devices with total security??

[Luis(tm)]

So how do technicians open, manipulate and fix those device with total security??Yup!

There must be a way to do it harmless... I know for sure... (Antistatic devices, discharge wires or someting...)

If it was so risky ¿How do u get all those people repairing them?

Cya!

Well, I'm always were scared with monitors because you have to discharge them to work in them, due to this situation i never had the valor of open one :) , i just prefer send to fix it when it damages.

[-CHULI-]

i think that the people that fix electrical/electronic dangerous components have the experience and the knowledgement to open this....if you have´t this don´t open, you can be in extremal danger..............

How long does a monitor work well (i mean before they start presenting problems)?

usefull life?

[Oesoto]

I've been using my Samsung Syncmaster 17" for 4 years with no problems.

I think a monitor could work for 6-7 years very well.

/*/That depends...

Diverse conditions (ambiental or by misuse) such as humidity, temperature, accidental hits, manufacturer, hours of use per day, degauss frequency, transport conditions and quality of the electric fluid can modify the lifespan of your monitor.

Here I have a QBex 15", five years old, working without a glitch...

Cya!

[JD-K@iser]

a monitor could kill you if you are hit on your head wiht it.

[jasz]

or if you get in the bath tub with it (while plugged in)....

a monitor could kill you if you are hit on your head wiht it.

jajajaja that-s really funny...

What about this? "Keyboard error or not keyboard present, please press F11" can you bealive? ******************************er bios......

[Luis(tm)]

What about this? "Keyboard error or not keyboard present, please press F11" can you bealive? ******************************er bios......I didn't quite understand ur question... :nervios:

Can u post it in a bit more "simple" way plz ;)

Cya!

[The Music]

What about this? "Keyboard error or not keyboard present, please press F11" can you bealive? ******************************er bios......

Was that a joke?

:rolleyes:

[=X=Madset]

This message is from my bios (MSI K8Neo4 platinum) when there isn't a keyboard or not recognize the keyboard present. I believe this is the most stupid message in the world. I only want to express my inconformity and the angry I fell when I receive this ********************* message from my computer. An yeah... this looks like a type of joke from MSI

On monitors.
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors are basically Televisions with an interface for RGBY only, rather than an internal RF tuner. A good place to learn about repairing these devices is from television repair manuals and television repair technicians. I am not sure what formal education is available for you in Medellin, but a Degree in electronics engineering would help.

How do they not get hurt? Well, they know what they are doing. There is no magic strap or device that will save you from a high voltage shock. You have to know what you can touch, which part maintain a voltage after the device is de-energized and how to safely discharge this energy. Same as an electrician. In short if you are not sure of what you are doing, do not open it. You wouldn't open the power supply in your pc .....

on LCD monitors, these still have a bit of voltage in them as the current is transformed to power the cold cathode tube light source. If an LCD is broken, generally you are better off replacing it. There are however guides on the net for changing the cold cathode tube should you be game.

MSI BIOS
That is close to the most stupid message in the world, someone is having a joke.

Well... Now I'm replacing all my old Norton Utilities disk with various discrete utilities as follows:
NAV by Kaspersky
NWD by RegClean
Etc, etc.

I wanna know: Which utilities do you consider are most suitable for replacing Norton Disk Doctor and Speed Disk...

That's because there are several cases of data corruption (specifically with floppy disks) and some of them can be repaired w/ NDD but I don't want to install ALL NU just for NDD.

And I have heard about some programs (different from the infamous Win Defrag) better than Speed Disk... In particular counting that "Speed" part of the equation :P (because with defrag you must wait a month to sort al your HD files :nervios: )

Well... Any help wpuld be greatly appreciated.

Thx'n Cya!

I use PerfectDisk 7.0 which is an excellent utility for "defragging" a hard disk. You should give it a try.

I'm also looking for a program that can repair corrupted sectors in a hard disk but I haven't found a good one yet :(

[EnempE]

You can find the HDD applications from the manufacturers. Some of these will allow a low level format.

that is a good way of fixing a lot of disk problems.

Why don´t you try to lear how to repair TVs. Monitors have the same principles as TVs. Try some kind of a course of TV repairing.

[Mr david]

hey people..i`m having some problems whit an old pc.. P1 de 200 mhz 64mb ram...
later of install win 98 se, on this machine using an lcd acer of 17" it was the first sistem use and the monitor says: input not supported..
what is this.. how i can see what im doing..??? it will be low resolution or which problem .. how i can fix it...??? any idea,,, thanks...

[EnempE]

ok mister david.

Can you see the POST text ? if it goes haywire after booting into windows then you probably have the resolution set too high. memorise the key strokes to reset the resolution on another machine and do it that way, or connect a better monitor and wind it down.
Hope that helped. .....
