I'm seriously 60 seconds away from destroying this monitor beyond recognition :mad:

Its a mitsu Diamond pro 920, 19" crt. It boots fine but as soon as it hits windows ( or just after) it just turns itself off. The screen dies and the green light on the 'on' button goes off. Its been doing this a while and has been doing it for the last hour none stop and it close to getting put out my window, i really am that frustrated with it. Is it beyond saving ? :mad:

Yes!

Throw it out the wondow and post some pics :D

ps: hope you do get it sorted if it is indeed fixable - but if not, we want pics of the breakage! :P
 
STOP right there, Step away from the keyboard with your hands raised NOW.

How old is it ? NEC/Mitsu have one of the Best aftersales set ups out there. Get the serial number from the back of the monitor and ring them. They sent me courier stickers arranged pick up and returned mine mint in 4 days at no cost to me & i am the second owner.
Get serial number and ring them now.

This things is years old, i doubt theres any chance of warranty at all considering i got it from a friend who had it a few years and i've had it about 2 myself
 
I would still ring them, mine had just 2 months left on the 3 year warranty and like i said i am also a 2nd owner.
Even if the warranty is out i bet they would still sort it relatively cheaply. Got to be worth a phone call surely.
Brilliant monitor and i know i would rather have mine repaired than buy what is out there today.
 
Is it possible to check if the serial is in on a website by any chance?

Just checked device manager and its got 4 default monitors and 1 plug and play monitor yet i installed the drivers for both so that cant be right can it?
 
Do you think this is something that a tv repair shop could fix possibly ? can they mess with monitors and such or best to see if mitsu can do it ?
 
Just give nec/mitsu a bell first and see what they can do for you. Mines been back twice in the past 2-3 years, their customer support is excellent and the turn around is very quick. Its certainly worth the effort as its a superb monitor.

does it work fine in safe mode? sounds like it's not liking the res/refresh rate that windows is asking for?? :confused:
 
I haven't tried but its at 1600x1200 and refresh it 75hz along side my belina 19ws at 1440x900 at 60hz which is done with powerstrip as its impossible to get my gpu to recognize its widescreen and thus needs widescreen resolutions
 
I had a similar problem once....

Boot up screen fine, safe mode fine but as soon as it enters windows signon screen monitor switched off.

Thought it was the monitor as res and refesh rates were fine, but it turned out to be that the gfx card was not seated quite right

Diddy
 
Sounds very alike a dodgy refresh rate/resoloution or combo of either.

iirc you can hit F8, boot into vga mode and adjust the resolution up, then restart into windows proper with that resolution, say 1024x768@60hz
Windows never thinks to reset the resolution by itself.

It could be a gfx card problem though. I have a 9600pro that was a little dodgy at first, and no ammount of reseating would fix that. I poped in the artifact full gf4 it replaced and after a startup and shutdown windows would never suddenly go out of range on my monitor.
