A friend give me a 15" KDS radius rad-5 LCD monitor, after conecting and powered I noticed that it's complete white when I connect it to my laptop or my desktop..... Even unconnected when I turned on the screen it's white.... May I cosider that it's damaged? Thanks
yes I would probably guess that the monitor is damaged. All the LCD's Ive seen will put up a test pattern or message when they arent getting a signal. Or at elast when they arent hooked up. My LCD can tell the difference between being hooked up and not getting a signal, and not being hooked up. So if you have the cable disconnected and it still does not do anything, chances are its broken.
Can you bring up the on-screen menu? If so, maybe reset the settings to the defaults. Is there only one input? Maybe one input is bad and another (if it has one) works. Sounds bad to me also. Maybe that's why your friend gave it away
There is no text, messages or menu, only a white screen when turn on or when it's attached to my desktop or my laptop well, he will give me an old HP laptop without power adaptor tomorrow.....
The laptop works, the only thing it's that the power adapter it's damaged and his client give away the computer..... That's the information that I had.....
It's hard to disassemble the monitor.... I check it..... The thing that takes my atention was some adhesive tape made of metal... (maybe and electromagnetic shield) and now It think that it's causing some short .... I'll check it again right now!
Bad news.... After checking the contacts I see that the clip that holds the flex on the controller board it's broken.... I try to hold the flex in several ways, and the screen still white when attached to my laptop..... the board it's damaged.....
