i had a old lg monitor which i tried to connect yesterday in my comp n bang i only see a small horizontal line 5 centimeters in the middle of the screen with the logo of windows xp loading n rest of the up n down parts are covered with black. what do u guys think, the monitor can be cured or should i rma it?

monitor is lg 17" e700.

thanks fellas

how old is it and have you tried it on another pc or fiddled about with the settings. If the answer is more than 3 years and yes but with no luck then bin it its prob dead!

i cant fiddle with the settings cause i am barely able to see nything in the horizontal line, but yeah when i just give it a punch on the side of the monitor the horizontal line widens from 5 centimeters to 15-20 centimeters but after few seconds it again shortens.

the monitor is above 3 years old another wise i could have gotten it replaced.:(

bump

lol dont bump your own post its frowned upon here.

Looks like its a dead monitor or a dying monitor, I would chuck it or sell it on ebay theres always who will want someone elses junk!

computer display settings is higher than the monitor can handle,.
when computer starts to boot up start hitting the f8 key to go into safe mode,when you get there right click on the desktop and go properties /settings and change screen resolution to 800x640 ,save settings and Reboot computer .
