Greetings all,
I purchased an ASUS VH236H LCD monitor in January. About a week after I got it, I noticed it would 'blink out' every once in a while for a few seconds, then come right back. I was like 'wha?' I checked my power mgmnt savings and they were all disabled (like never turn off the display, etc....). It continued to do it, so I hooked it up to a different machine. Well, same thing. It got progressively worse/happened more often.
About 2 weeks of this happening, I RMA'd it. Ten days later, I get it back. The next day, it starts blinking out again. I'm like 'FUUUUUUUUUUU!!!'. I call, they dont have any replacements, so I RMA it again...sigh.
Just got it back a couple days ago, and hooked it up yesterday to a laptop just to see if it worked (I'm using a huge/heavy 21" CRT for now and dont wanna have to move it if I dont have to lol). Besides the new scratches on the bezel (thanx ASUS/Fedex), it seemed ok......until this morning. Was just installing an app on the laptop (PGP to be precise) and it blinked out......3 times....for like 4 seconds each time. Last time it showed 'no signal' on the screen. I just shook my head and sighed. I mashed a couple of the control buttons and it came back
Now I'm gonna hook it up to a separate desktop and 'monitor' it lol. Is there something I'm obviously missing or is this thing just cursed? I've tried: different VGA cable, different power cable, more than a few different computers.
Thanx in advance AT!
