Learn How To Fix Your LCD Monitor

By Sonny Skyler


LCD monitors are now shipped with new computers. They are superior to the old CRT screens for the majority of applications. Worldwide sales of televisions with LCD screens now surpass the sale of CRT units. LCD monitors are obviously very different from CRT monitors. If you want to buy an LCD monitor or learn how to fix your own, it would be good to have a basic understanding of how the technology works.

The letters LCD stand for "liquid crystal display". The LCD is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. It is an electronically modulated optical device made up of any number of pixels filled with liquid crystals and arrayed in front of a light source or reflector to produce images in monochrome or color.

There are many reasons for its popularity. Lightweight construction and portability. Ability to be produced in much larger screen sizes than are practical for the construction of CRT display technology. More vibrant images. Ability to maintain contrast and variation of color in bright environments better than CRTs.

Repairing the LCD monitor can be quite expensive. There are times the cost of repairing the LCD monitor is more than buying a new one. When it needs repair, don't throw it away or pay for expensive repairs, fix it yourself and save money.

Do you remember what it cost the last time you called a computer tech help line? When you actually had to have a PC service technician come to your home? Dead pixels can occur when the screen is damaged or pressure is put upon the screen. Few manufacturers replace screens with dead pixels under warranty.

Troubleshooting and repairing the LCD Monitor can be extremely confusing if you don't have the basic skills. With CRTs being phased out, it is a real plus for you to feel confident about understanding LCD technology.

Do you know how much money you could save if you understood how the LCD Monitor works? How to read LCD Monitor Schematic diagrams. How to isolate problems. How to read the SMD electronic components codes. Understanding the critical waveform and frequencies in many parts of the LCD Monitor Section.

It would be great to know how to solve these common problems. Low output power or no power, have power but no display, display shutdown after few seconds to few minutes, white display, one horizontal or vertical line or bar across the screen, stuck and dead pixel, rainbow display, and dim display.

I recommend a home course taught by a professional LCD Monitor instructor. He has conducted several LCD Monitor repair courses. He has spent countless hours testing, repairing and analyzing LCD Monitors. This course is written for people who have little or no experience in LCD Monitor repair. Professionals who want to update their skills and get practical experience will also benefit.

After you master the skills it takes to repair the LCD Monitor, you will not only save money. You could make extra income by becoming an LCD monitor troubleshooter part time. You could start your own LCD Monitor repair business. You could give an LCD Monitor repair course in your country. You could even venture into LCD TV repair for additional income.
