Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920

[Tight Git]

Does anyone have experience of the likely faults on this monitor, please?

After 7 years faithful service, mine has started to switch off at random.

Switching off for a few seconds and then back on again, does the trick.

Until the next time...

Any ideas, please?

Does the red standby light on the power switch blink on and off?

If so, you probably still have a years use out of it - my trusty diamond pro 720 has been doing this for over 12 months now (albeit not very often, probably 6 times in the last year); I usually hit the power button when it happens and try switching back on after a couple of hours, sometimes longer.

I'm just dreading the day when it dies completely (I hate LCD monitors and there only seems to be 1 viewsonic CRT on the market right now).

Hope this helps.

P.S. my 720 did this about 8 months into ownership and never came back to life, just a blinking red light -I had to RMA it, so it always puts the frighteners on me when it happens now LOL.

Thanks for your reply.

I've come to the conclusion that it's probably a dry joint in the power supply that only shows up when the monitor is cold.

Leaving the monitor on st/by overnight has "cured" the problem.

Not ecologically correct, I know...

Why should it?

In any case, I've got eight inter-connected smoke detectors all over the bungalow.

Not that I'm paranoid, of course...
