roger101 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My monitor has stopped working i.e it doesnt come on. I've checked the socket and the power lead and they are both fine. My question is do I throw it away and buy a new one or can monitors be serviced and repaired? If it is possible to service/repair is it worth it?

Brit_Doggie Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Some monitors if not all have a internal fuse which can blow through heat,and can be repaired or serviced,the going rate where i live for someone to look at it is 300 baht which is reasonable so well worth the expense,rather than throw it out,so go this route first.

Crossy Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 You don't say where you are, but if you have an Amorn Service within range drop it off there, if they can't fix it nobody can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crabdog Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It would be easier to make a suggestion if we had some idea about the monitor ie: brand, size, age etc. If it's just a small item that is several years old I'd be inclined to buy a new one. If it's a high end model or a fairly recent purchase then yes, I'd look into getting it repaired. You can get a new 21" LED monitor nowadays starting at around 4000-5000 baht (Samsung, LG, Acer).

55Jay Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I had the same problem, and found a lot of trouble shooting solutions on Youtube using brand/model info. Followed the videos, found the problem very easily and had a local guy put in a new power supply thing for 50 Baht. Way better than buying a new one!

The problem was a couple of bad capacitors, which cost me 100 baht to have replaced. That was a little less than a year ago and it is still working fine.
