|
|
My monitor randomly goes black, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for a few minutes. However, most of the time when I tap it on the side it turns back on right away.
I figure there must be something loose inside? Think I could repair it myself if I opened it up, or would opening it just fuck it up even more?

Try shaking the cable ends going into the monitor as well as your computer.
See if the connections are the problem before attempting to open it.
Opening it will void the warranty if it is still under one that you can take advantage of. So keep that in mind.
If you are unsure of what you are doing I would suggest not opening it and tinkering with it. There are spots in the monitor that can cause electrical shock enough to kill you, so you may not want to tinker with it if you are unsure.

Yeah, I've already replaced the VGA and power cable, but with no changes.
Well I've never opened up a monitor before so I can't say I know what I'm doing but I think I'm just gonna watch some youtube videos and risk it.
