As above mentioned, 4 years is good. Also, my screen flickers a lot, it's usually caused by the frequency of my cell phone though, when they call me and the antenna is facing the monitor, the screen moves a lot

the flickering on my monitor is different. Its there all the time.
Well i ran the monitor by just giving it power and no signal and the problem persisted.
i think it needs some parts replacement.
OK, that proves it.
Your monitor is defective :(
I am afraid that I do not know enough about them to know if it is economically repairable.
Over here the answer would be not, as 15" monitors are very cheap second hand. No-one really wants them..................I find them handy because they fit on my workbench with plenty of ventilation room.
Flickering is usually the refresh rate. You may notice flickering in safe mode, as that is only 60Hz. It tends to vanish from 72Hz upwards.

If the monitor flickers (like it's being squashed vertically) and ends with a horisontal bar or line then it is likely a collapse of the vertical oscillator/amplifier or a defect in the deflection yoke.
This is often seen as an intermittent fault as it commonly due to a dry joint somewhere (the monitor warming up can either start or stop the fault).
As other people have already said, your monitor is f***ed. :mad:
This can be fixed by replacement of parts but this is only worthwhile if it is still under warranty, otherwise it tends to cost too much (parts and labour).
You would be best off just getting a new monitor (or an old one from somebody else, lots of people tend to throw away monitors when they upgrade/get a new computer).
There are 2 main points to remember when working with monitors/TVs:
1 - The voltage is VERY high and can kill you even if the device has been switched off for a long time.
2 - The voltage is VERY high and can kill you even if the device has been switched off for a long time.
I know that this is really only one point but I thought it was important enough to mention twice :D . Playing with this stuff is DANGEROUS - this cannot be stressed enough.
Hope this helps.

Well i gave it to the repair shop and got it fixed for Rs.200.
Good man!
Did the repair slip say "resoldered dry joint"?
:D
Why pay to get a Dry joint fixed, just slap some Deep Heat on the the spot and there problem solved.. :DQuote:
