Acer X223W monitor has Blue Power Light Flashing and Sometimes Blinks Acer Logo

[FireEagle244]

My Father and I went and got 25 monitors for 50 dollars not knowing if they all would work. I found one that I wanted and hoped that It would work but it seems to blink on and off. I think It may be fixable because the Acer logo pops up and the computer Identifies it by its name, also the light on the power button blinks so It gets power at least some of the time. (Have also seen other people having this same problem.)

Probably bad capacitors.

If you are comfortable taking it apart, the problem should be obvious (google image search bad capacitor if you don't know what they look like)

de-solder the bad one, find *an exact duplicate* from a local electronics store, re-solder.

Done it many times

thanks, now the hard part of taking it apart. Why can't they just have screws

Because companies don't want you to repair it yourself, they want you to send it back to them for repair, or better yet, buy a new one from them.

The last few monitors I repaired took perhaps an hour of careful disassembly and .50 cents worth of caps. Yeah, they are that cheap...if you have some bad ones, bring those to an electronics shop and ask for identical ones. Piece of cake...
