problem with monitor blacking out
Sounds like your video cable is loose. Three colour bars usually means
"No signal". Disconnecting speakers without moving them away will do nothing. Any decent PC speakers should have NO effect on a monitor anyhow. If you pull the 6x9's out of your car, or use your stereo speakers, THAT could cause a "rainbow" effect as it misaims the guns, but I don't see it doing any other damage. Sounds more like a cable problem. MIGHT be your video card as well. "Rob" wrote in message m... I have a 17" Relysis TE786 monitor about 4 years old. A couple of weeks ago it started blacking out. Seeminly randomly, the power would stay on, but the screen would just go black. It started happening around the same time I got my new speakers. Someone suggested to me that I had my speakers too close to the monitor, and the magnetic fields from the speakers are causing the monitor to act strangly. I've since disconnected the speakers, and used the Degauss function on the monitor. That seemed to work, and my monitor was back to normal for a day. When I turned the monitor on this morning, it made that humming sound followed by a clicking sound that it usually makes, but the picture I got was a white screen with three large coloured rectangles in the center: red, green and blue. Now the monitor switches back and forth between these coloured rectangles, and a black screen. Once in a while the proper picture will come on, but it doesn't stay very long. A few seconds at most, then it flashed back to black or the rectangles. Each time it switches between the various screens, it makes that hum and click sound that it used to make when it started up. Is my monitor fried? What's the problem, and can it be repaired? Thanks, Rob |
