[[Update]]] Fixed it! Read a lot on badcaps.net and decided to replace 2 capacitors on the main board. Cost me $3 shipped to get the parts I needed. Only burned myself once soldering it. And I have never soldered anything before. Woohoo!
Hello,
I have a HannsG 28" model # HG281D purchased in 2009.
***NOT MY PC***
The issue is when the monitor is hooked up with VGA/HDMI (DVI on PC end) it doesn't always fully power on. The light changes indicating it has a connection but doesn't flip over.
When it does come on with VGA it is blurry/fuzzy/watery if that makes sense. It does this with onboard VGA, video card VGA. With HDMI it is not fuzzy but half the time, and almost ALL of the time now it doesn't turn on and when it does it only makes it to Windows 8 loading screen and then it dies.
Is this monitor dead? Is there anything I can replace? Is it worth it? Anything worth trying? I have a soldering iron but I will admit I am NOT good at it... Only tried 3-4 things and failed at 2 of them.
Thank you!!!
