Question RE: Flat screen monitor. |
|
Okay, I just am wondering if anyone else has had this problem before I call customer service and wait three hours to be disconnected.
My E-Machines monitor isn't even a month old, and it's on the fritz. Sometimes, and the amount of time it's on doesn't affect it, the colors randomly change, and look like television static with technicolor.
I tried the website troubleshooting, and it didn't work. I emailed them a few days ago, and am awaiting response.
Has anybody else had this problem and fixed it?

1. Is your graphics card completely in its slot? |

One time when I took my computer in my car when moving into a new home, my monitor went wacky. Turned out the graphics card was a jostled a little bit loose.

2. Graphics card/motherboard problem most likely. |

I agree with whoa_nelly, try the monitor on a different computer.

3. As Whoa_Nelly says....It's most likely your video card. |
|
Unfortunately if the Motherboard has a built in card (which I suspect it does) ..You'll have to change the board.
Can you hook your computer to another Monitor for awhile? (to test it)
