My parents Viewsonic VX912 has started to be very annoying and continously flash on and off.
The power light on the button on the front will appear Green and then go completely off, then come straight back on. This obviously creates a flickering effect that is highly annoying.
Originally it was on her PC, so i presumed it could be a few things:
Dodgy Power Cable
Dodgy Monitor to PC cable
Screwed Monitor
I changed all the cables to new ones I had spare from my current new Monitor and the problem persisted.
I then tried it on my computer with dual monitor output and the problem remains.
The strange thing however is sometimes it stays on for hours and hours at some points without any problems. It only seems to occur when it has been switched off and then powered back up.
Another strange thing is that when I disable the Dual Desktop and therefore nothing is being sent, the Power light switches to Orange and when in this state, it never flashes on and off like it is losing power.
Does anybody know what might be causing this? Or any solutions I could try to hopefully fix it?
It just seems like something small is causing it to lose power, but even without touching it, it sometimes fixes itself, which doesn't make much sense.
Thanks to anyone who might point me in the right direction to a solution for this annoyance.
