hi i have a hp moniter that will stay on a while then it will go black it is still on so you can turn it off and turn it back on sometimes will stay off sometimes will comeback on... it is a 17 inch lcd please help
If it has a 3-year warranty now would be the time to use it… If it is older than 3 years of course then you will need to look at other options.
It is possible that the power supply is faulty, which means that if it is an external one that it can be checked and replaced. Please don’t open these as they can still carry a charge. If it is something else in the monitor well best buying a new one to tell you the truth.
What model is it and how old is it? Does it do it more often or does it happen more quickly than before? If its an LCD you don't really need to worry about getting shocked by a capacitor (as you would with a CRT), but you probably couldn't do anything helpful by opening it. You'd void the warranty if its not already expired, might break something, or could have problems putting it back together EXACTLY as before and not be able to close it. As mentioned by the other post, get it replaced by HP if its still under warranty. If not, I'd look into getting a new monitor.
it is hp pavilion f1703 it will stay on for a day then go off have its fit we turn it on it goes right back off keep doing that for a few min then it is fine for a while!!!!
