Monitor rebooting on its own

[Jonas]

I've an AOC IPS monitor which is about 8 years old. Yesterday morning it wasn't detecting any signal from the PC and when I tapped it near the HDMI port it detected it, but only to restart on its own every 3-4 seconds with a clicking sound.

Right now it's turning on, but still not detecting any signal from the PC. I'm thinking of calling the service center or else will take it to Nehru Place (don't feel like to be honest).

Any idea what could be wrong?

P.s I've tried plugging the cable to a different port, tried using VGA cable, same result.

Wait... You haven't raised a ticket with them?? If NP is close, you can head over and get it checked. I thought its far from your place. If time permits go for it. Me still thinks your screen is saying "Mein ab bhi Zinda hu."
If those guys say its beyond repair, then think of a new one.

Yeah, I'll take it to Nehru Place most likely tomorrow itself. Let's see how it goes. Or else you'll see a new thread.

I want to buy a new monitor.

Went to Nehru Place and no one was daring enough to open it. It's a bezel-less monitor and I can understand that a lot of people haven't seen it. I know somebody who's a technician over there. He advised me to get a quote from the company first, because the issue is with the board/card. It will either be repaired or replaced. If the company quotes a high amount then submit it to him and they'll try to fix it for 1k.

So, I'm without a monitor now for about a week, service center guy took it and it'll go to Dwarka. Not a good feeling.

Meanwhile, could you guys suggest a 23-24 inch IPS monitor? It should not be bulky, if I can use it without a stand that would be great. I just use it for graphic designing and photo editing. Basic stuff. Color accuracy is quite important. If the repair is costing a bomb, I'll rather get a new one, I guess.

So, it's been 10 days and the only update that I've from the service center is that they're waiting for the part that is PCB and I'll be paying Rs. 1.5k once the repair is done.

Considering that they're still trying to arrange for the part it seems like they may not be able to repair it.
