Evening everyone,
I have had a Samsung P2050 for probably 8+ years now, but it has recently started experiencing an issue with power.
With my brightness and contrast turned up to 80-95% it will randomly turn itself off completely, I have to physically turn it back on and then it will go off again a few minutes later.
Yet if I put these settings down to a level of 75% it stays on all the time, only going into standby during power management.
Given the way it's behaving and although I am using it in a dual monitor setup, I was wondering if I am looking at a straightforward issue with the power supply which might be easy to replace, or something more serious?
Perhaps I'm better off replacing it when the time comes, just wondered what everyone's thoughts were and if they have had this happen before?
Thanks!
