2007wfp turns on and off sporatically...
My 2007WPF monitor turns on and off sporatically...and I cannot make it work. I have re-installed the video card software and drivers and the monitor drivers, but nothing helps.
I cannot pinpoint exactly what causes it, but my monitor will start showing little redraw glitch lines for a fraction of a second...and then will turn off (go black) for a 0.5-2 seconds then back on for 1-5 seconds then off and on and off and on...sometimes it shuts the monitor off for up to 5 seconds...there really is no end to it. I can reboot, but the problem will come back usually within 15 minutes of use.
I have my machine set up with two operating systems (dual partition)and this happens on both the XP pro (which I only use for audio mixing and do not hook into the internet with, and my junked up Media Center edition.
Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
- This sounds very similar to the problem I had with my 2007WFP, I sent it back and found another brand monitor that I'm very happy with now.
Here are a few things to try to help narrow down the problem.
When the monitor goes "off" do you still see the power light LED on?
if yes: hit the menu button and see if the menu on screen display appears
if yes: it could be a problem with your cable or still possibly hardware
if no: it's the LCD panel and should be sent back for a refund or new one.
if no: could be something with the built in power supply and you should send it back or get a new one, or call for tech support.
My experience is my monitor would go off and the power led would still be on but the on screen display would not appear. Additionally lightly tapping the top made it jump on and off indicating a loose wire or component.
