Hello, This Acer monitor will power up (has good pic) but, the screen goes blank (and comes back on) after a few seconds. It does not lose power. A customer gave it to us recently so we figured we'd use it as a test monitor or sell it, but dont plan to burn a lot of time on it. Could this be a flyback or filmanent circuit problem, and is there any service history info available for this unit? Item specs: ACER MONITOR MDL: 7177is (Black Case) FCC: JVP7176IS Thanks, Fred MTS Electronics Fayetteville, NC fremur01@xxxxxxxxx __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
