Im 99.99% certain i just need a new display but thought i would post here first. I have a Hyundai W240D and for the last 4/5 years has been more or less been perfectly ok but recently it has started to get lines across the screen flickering and on specific pages/screens the whole screen just whites out and it is getting worse with time, wiggling the input use to correct it but im not permanently stuck with the flickering lines. Im assuming its a hardware fault but is it ever worth sending off a monitor to be repaired or just looked at? If not il go and poke the market place and see whats selling. Thanks *edit, just to point out its not a graphic card issue or anything like that as the screen plays up on my xbox 360 aswell
Circuit is finished. I don't know which component is affected, I am no electric engineer. It needs replacing. You can perhaps have a go on ebay, and find the exact same monitor and swamp the parts (or might as well use the ebay one). Else then that, its time for a new monitor.
My Samsung started playing up so I did a web search and found a guy who had the same problem as me. He posted up a tutorial on which components had failed and from this I was able to fix it. Cost me 3 quid for the 3x capacitors needed. Might be worth you having a good search before you bin it. This also depends on how confident you are with a solder iron though. I wasn't confident at all but I thought it was worth a go. Luckily it worked for me and I saved myself from having to dump a perfectly good screen. Failing that, if you can identify what component is borked you could possibly ask the local TV repair shop to fit them in for you. When I bought my screen I imagined I would get 10 years use out of it. For they money they cost us 4 to 5 years is just a friggin joke. Apparently Samsung were using cheap **** components and screens have been going down left right and center. Will not buy from them again! Good luck
Well it's you are going to bin the monitor.. I agree, worth a shot. If it is capacitors, the good about capacitors is that that when they are dying you can visually identify them. Pictures: https://www.google.ca/search?q=faul...w&biw=1440&bih=773&sei=EnFrUaLhMtPD4AP_wIGoAQ
