HP L1710 monitor
The screen goes black when I go on the internet but is okay if I don't (like playing games that are on the computer). If I turn it off and then back on it stays on for awhile then goes black again. If I do this repeatedly it stays on longer and longer until it finally quits going black. The next time I use the computer to go on the internet I have to go through the same procedure. Any ideas on what the problem is? It is not that old a monitor.
It sounds like it could be one of two things. Either there is a capacitor that is going bad and once it warms up it works ok. Or more likely is there is a bad solder joint on the board somewhere, And Again, Once it warms up it expands and then the connection works ok. If you are comfortable opening things up and checking it out you could, CAREFULLY, open it up and then wait for it to work correctly and then use some NON-FLAMABLE cold shot or circuit freezer and spray it on any suspected components until it acts up, Then you found it.
Good Luck!!!
