KDS k917s Monitor flicks off after 2 seconds of power on?
I have a KDS LCD monitor that goes black with a click 2 seconds after power on. I have hooked the thing up to three different sources with the same result. It doesn't power off, just goes black. It seems independant of any graphics controller problem, always Displays a screen image (source dependant) clearly before crashing, and the behavior can be repeated by powering the monitor off then on again. Backlights, displays, then fails. I dont see a reset button or pinhole on the thing such as might restore some memory setting. The monitor has been burned in for three months and operated without fail during that time. I hesitate to blame the power supply or inverter since it does power up and display - for a second or two, just like clockwork. It repeats this behavior when conected to different systems using different graphics cards and Op systems. Sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks for the answers to this now old problem. The monitor behavior was the result of failing monitor capacitors not keeping charge. This was likely an engineering issue to do with building the transformer into the thin frame of the monitor instead of separating it off into a power brick, which was the common solution to keeping heat down on these older models, and the use of caps of an inadequate heat range in order to save costs. by the manufacturer.

If the comparable concern happens utilising a distinctive video exhibit, your video card / settings needs interest. this might require moving into BIOS and make some variations. wanting doing that, installation a clean Video/pics card, get carry of the CD and PnP will detect the hot card. the different concern as formerly spoke back, examine your video exhibit settings on top of issues Panel below power and alter day out settings.

try a different monitor. If it works then your problem is the KDS.
If not its your computer.
