I received 3 of these monitors for free because they stopped working. In the first video I show what the problem is. I will follow up with more videos showing the repair process.

I hate such problems… every time when you turn the monitor on you get these artifacts. But about 30 seconds later you can use it without any problems, until you shut it down that is… It seems that the power supply (manufactured by Fortron) had some failed capacitors, because after replacing them the display was back to normal.

UPDATE: I have completely fixed this problem! (please read the rest of this info before commenting.) I just swapped out the Ballistics RAM for some new OCZ FLEX and the problem was completely and instantly gone. I didn’t know a memory issue could do this and not report errors in memtest.. -Original Problem- This is what my computer screen looked like! I have built my own system and it has worked great for a long time. I’m having this problem in Windows Vista 32 with my 8800GTS 512 using any drivers (even ones that worked in the past). I have RMA’ed the GPU and Motherboard to no avail. However, after swapping out the ram for identical sticks (Crucial Ballistics Tracers) it was fixed for several months, but now it is back (still no errors in memTest86). At first it is not very bad, just a flicker here and there, then some boxes and pixels flashing onto the screen, but it continues to get worse. sometimes it freezes up and i eventually get a Blue Screen saying something about the graphics driver stopped responding and could not recover. I get “Video Hardware Error” for Windows in the Vista Problem Reports and Solutions (22 of them today) When i press CTRL + ALT + DEL everything seems fine, but when return to the Vista desktop the corruption is back. (i changed the log on screen background, but you can ignore that). It has not happened yet in safe mode or when the Aero Theme is disabled (set to Vista Basic). I use Remote Desktop almost daily, and it has never done this during …

Trying to take off the screen. Looking for help. It seems that all screws are out. But there is an issue with the black plastic frame on the bottom left portion and bottom right portion of the frame. IT won’t snap off. I believe there is a screw buried under black circular rubber. Also in the video (sorry about the sound. It was 5somthing am) I am trying to get off the two brackets that hold the LCD together.
