Dell 3007WFP LCD Monitor Problem

[jatoshigeru]

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows that this problem could be and whether it would be easy to fix. I get this weird banding on my LCD monitor which is just recent.

Initially, the banding pixels would flicker on and off until it was solid as per the images. Also, it does not seem cable related as when I have taken my Dual-Link DVI cables, the pink pixel band is still on the monitor. I've also noticed that when I turn off my computer for a while and turn it back on, then it disappears for a little bit before returning.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
jatontg

It's normally a failure of the screen, or possibly the T-Con board (which comes as part of the screen).

Thanks for the help Nigel. Just another quick question:

Is this normally a relatively easy fix for a repair person or am I better off getting a new monitor?

It's an 'easy' repair (if you can get the parts), but it's not usually cost effective, a new screen usually costs more than a new monitor.
