Vertical Lines Then Blue Screen on 17 IBM Monitor—Possible Circuit Defect?

Hi.. when i turn the device on,a vertical lines appear then desapear and the screen become blue.. any ideas about the defect in the circuit?

It would help if you can provide the exact model of the unit and other details like the last activity you had before the problem started and how long has this been going on. I would also highly recommend you to visit IBM's Website and see if you get some answers from there technical support team... sometimes you get to find similar cases that have been reported by other users already.

Thank u for replying me.. well just after usual use of this screen.. i will try to find the problem at ibm.. but i just ask about the type of the error..

Plasma , LCD or tube ?? Which one ?
Where’s your schematic ?

If its old cathode tube type it could be RGB output stage , no horizontal blanking pulse from the frames stage It could be caps around the frame stage , might be grid cathode short on the tube itself Could be any number of problems including fly back stage or even caps on the tube base but since we still don’t know if this is lcd neither have we a schematic I really am not to hopeful for you at this stage

We cant guess at this You do unfortunately have to have some information in order to resolve the problem like voltage measurements scoped waveforms etc etc

Miracles we can sometimes achieve the impossible unfortunately takes a little longer

Bad enough having to have rows over this with the manufacturer let alone have to try and solve the impossible with no information from people like yourself

This is the typical answer I get every day from at least one manufacturer when they are saying to everyone "Bussiness is bad There is no work "

Rubbish There is plenty of work

There is untold work

What is the problem ?? A bunch of manufacturers who's answer is typically as follows " see after this statement " , and when asked to please get the Director of the company to call me so that we can negotiate this problem what I then get is the following .... Ill pass on the message , The Director isnt always in every day They aslo say , "Oh no one wants to buy british " I wonder why " , Talk about hang yourselves in the process but its true

There shouldn’t be a resection at all This is all there own doing !!

Has he got a mobile phone Is there an internet system Canm he email Can He Fax then Blimey you dont say !!

Hi Samantha
Thankyou for getting back to me
Could you possibly send me a schematic for this model as well please We see quite a few Roberts radios in for service from time to time and would be helpfull if we can gain access to full and complete schematics

All help appreciated in the meantime could you please quote for two ic's

Many thanks

Would you also believe that the spares are cheaper elsewhere and would you also believe that despite leaving a message with these people They still cannot be bothered to return a phone call

Thats the so called Manging director a MR Pratt would you believe yeah I also thought so !!

Now that’s what I call downright bloody stuffing stupid and bloody rude and insulting Need less to say They are the first ones to complain because no body wants to buy British Or Amercan Or Fremceh Or German too busy rowing over nothing

Now I wonder why that is

Same applies to other companies in and around the Globe Yet They will all swear blind and lie about this as well That’s is Unserviceable Rubbish its perfectly serviceable What we need is co operation and then would you just believe this too people will actually want to do business with you

Yeah 1000 % correct this all the way through ( Little fight here little fight there lets start another row off lets not co operate at all How stupid You tell me )

Anything to stop business no effort to forward business in the right direction all the bloody same this lot then they also say , "why so many companies in debt and having to borrow money "

Reason because none of your company directors can co operate and get bussiness moving Thats the real answer and this is also 100% true To busy stuffing about !!!

Some one has to stand up and say something Some one has too So I might as well Im fed up with them

The next argument you will also get all the time is , " Oh the engineer stuffs up our radios etc etc "

Yes the probably do My answer is as follows .... Try supplying a schematic then they can service the bloody thing properly as its should be done !!

And whats more the customer will then come back and ask for Roberts as a brand name There you go answered for you !!! Smarty panse

And its the same for the US exactly the same

Whos stuffing up bussiness the people who want to get on life and do work NO no no no no its not Who ???

Your senior directors as usual who wont co operate I mean is this really that top secret I dont think so do you ? A DAB radio , really !!

Hardly its not rocket science is it !! Anyone would think they develop for blastard NASA

I doubt its somehow

Unfortunatley you have to put this up on the net before they will start to see this and then its , " Oh Im ever so sorry communications problem" Like hell !! but there will be If I lose my temper with some of you and wrap this radio roudn your goddam heads !! "

Then you will start to communicate with the customers and me and other delers who are also sick to death of some of you !!

Finally I don’t like having to do this or be this way unfortunately this is the only way to deal with them and that is to thoroughly embarrass them in front of the rest of the world They don’t leave you with much choice do they ?? Lets be honest !!

Also if they were forthcomming with information instead of being so silly and stubborn Customer service would be better Engineers would be better Bussiness would be better and last but not least More companies would recommend you and youd begin to sole the employemt problem would you meaning less DHSS claimants

There you go that’s me !! I don’t believe in hiding the real truth they might do I don’t not when I see good long standing businesses collapsing because of this very silly public school boy attitude and refusal to listen or to co operate at times when its not needed or necessary !!

Down to earth and honest about some of this whether they like it or not




How simple can this get I dont know you tell me !!
