monitor : 'pc entering power saving mode'

spqr · 01-31-2008, 04:00 PM

when i connect my LCD-monitor (HP pav 1703) to my computer, my desktop appaers on the screen,but after a few seconds, the monitor shows me the following message : 'pc entering power saving mode'. After the message my monitor put itself in stand-by mode.

when i connect another monitor,i do not have this problem.

rebooting in safe mode doesn't help.

so the problem is likely situated in the monitor itself.Can i fix this and how?

same problem...

The only other thing I can think of is did you try another cable?

yes,still the same problem : he's showing my desktop for one minute,then the screen turns black,and after a few seconds : 'warning:pc entering...'

maybe the powersupply of the monitor is broken?

maybe this will help.

Also a search in google shows that it is a known fault and the warranty was supposely extended. You may want to contact hp for more information.

also see this, It tells how you can possibly fix it yourself.

thanks!

solution:
"I have repaired at least 50 of these monitors. It is a result of cold solder joints on toroidal coils. Since you have to take it apart to resolder the toroids replace the four push-pull transistors that drive the output transformers, they only cost about a dollar each. They fail on overheat and shut down the inverter. I have never had any of these monitors fail again after correcting these 2 issues."

I sure am glad you can understand what its talking about

toroidal coils sounds like it has something to do with having foot blisters. Anyway hopefully once fixed it will solve your lcd problem. Good Luck.
