Hi, I've had an Acer P243W for a few years. All of a sudden about a week ago the screen went black. Thought my PC was playing up, so restarted, but the screen didn't come on, it was late so I went to bed. Next night powered up and everything was fine for a few hours then the screen went black again. The power button is still blue (indicating a source) and the PC is running fine. More usage and it got to a point where after a few minutes (or seconds later) it would go black, turning it off and back on sometimes gives a few minutes other times a second and off again. I did a flashlight test but couldn't see a picture, though my room was pitch black at the time, so I'm not 100% certain. I was fairly sure something has gone wrong, so I took it apart, looking for bulging/leaking capacitors etc, but didn't find any. Have mainly concentrated on the power board though. Any ideas what it could be or how I might go about troubleshooting? Also how can I test the power board is this possible, I have a multimeter but a great deal of knowledge of electronics... Image Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks Chris
Could be power supply going out Or the monitor... Did you try hooking up an external Monitor to see what happens ?
