1176014 2011-02-07 11:06:00 My 2 month-old Viewsonic VX2450wm failed to work this evening. Initially I suspected it was my video card but after 2 hours of trouble shooting, I found that it's the monitor! The problem is with the DVI input fails to work. The other input - however, the D-sub input works fine.

You reckon they will give me a replacement or will just repair it?

Will call them first thing in the morning.

1176015 2011-02-07 11:07:00 They should replace it, thats what a warranty is for Speedy Gonzales (78)
1176016 2011-02-07 12:19:00 The warranty is not just mean you get a replacement.
The last viewsonic I had that had a fault had to be sent to Christchurch.
They organize the pickup so no cost involved.
They repaired it and sent it back.

1176017 2011-02-07 12:19:00 another thing to perhaps test would be (if you have one available) the DVI of your graphics card using a dvi to vga converter.
If not, i'd still return it anyway.

My video card hasn't got a D-sub and it only has two DVI. That's what I do, used a converter and connect it to the D-sub input of the Monitor right now.

The monitor's DVI input doesn't work but the D-sub input works. It happened last night after I restarted my PC.

1176021 2011-02-07 20:16:00 Silly question, it hasn't accidentally been set manually to the analog input ?
I ask because it's happened to me.

1176022 2011-02-07 20:30:00 Yeah, I've sent my VX2433wm back twice now, once for a faulty power button/led and once for a power supply failure. Both times they repaired it and sent it back in about a week. ryanjames.powell (13554)

Bad capacitors? A replacement PSU is all well and good but if they are using junk caps (highly likely) then you'll just get the same problem again.

Best to replace them yourself with decent capacitors.
