Megatouch Aurora Monitor Problem

<< < (2/3) > >>

mahkeymike:
That just seems like some serious bad luck if both monitors had the same exact symptom.

I suggest trying a pc monitor and connect its vga cable to the motherboard to rule out any other problem like the onboard video card or possible bad ram.

I can see the image when I shine a light on it. So, the panel is going. So I should replace the inverters correct? The other monitor could be bad I never ruled that out. I had it out on location and someone got mad and pushed it off the bar. The touchscreen was broken. But, I did fire it up and the monitor was working at the time. That was some years ago and it has just been sitting around since.

Thanks for the great info lilshawn.

okay. chances are pretty good it's just the inverter then. when you kick it to operate, does the brightness look okay? is the color even?

these panels have 4 fluorescent lights, 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom of the panel. sometimes when an inverter goes, it will burn out a tube causing one of them to be discolored or dark. so if it's nice and even, you are good... an inverter is all you need. if it's discolored or the brightness is uneven from one side to another the inverter AND the fluorescent tubes will need to be replaced... in that case it's best to just go LED.

Shawn,
Do you have a link to a 19 inch 4:3 LED replacement and a 19 inch 16:9 LED replacement?

I was under the impression that they stopped making 4:3 LCD long before LED started becomming the norm.

While I was searching around I found these that can be cut to different lengths:
