Not being one for electronics I was expecting the thing not to turn on again, but it did! And, with the extra space behind the metal surround I managed to get push the metal back flush with the rest of the screen and it looks ok! NO MORE ANNOYING POP UP BOXES!!! (For definite this time, I promise). This time I went a step further, I pulled back the metal surround again, and with some pliers removed the little buttons/switches off the board itself (the volume, and the brightness switch).
But as it didn't matter what happend to the ASUS monitor anymore, I had yet another tinker. I went and bought a new monitor as I couldn't take it anymore. Ok, so once the contact cleaner had dried up, the monitor turned on again and all was fine.
#Asus brightness control not working update#
UPDATE 3! This is definitely the final update (I promise). Thanks all in advance for any advice you may be able to offer, I am thinking of taking the screws out the back tonight, and trying to take the front surround off to have a look for any broken connections/muck, but thought I'd ask for any tips beforehand! I.E.
I do have some electrical contact cleaner (which I haven't yet used). If I have a bash at repairing it, and the monitor DOES end up broken, it's not the end of the world as at least I'd had a go.įor the record, I've tried cleaning behind the button with compressed air, and also tried prizing the button back a little to see if that stopped it triggering (it didn't which tells me its an internal problem). Or does anyone know if a repair of this sort would be do able by someone like me (fairly tech savvy but never messed with the internals of a monitor before).
#Asus brightness control not working cracked#
It seems also that searching for monitor repairs in my area only returns cracked screen/replacement LCD screens for laptops too, where as my screen its self is fine.ĭoes anyone know if there is a way to disable the OSD from popping up at all (I never use it), therefore If the brightness button went off on its own, it would have no effect? but I like the monitor, there is no dead pixels and the picture is sharp, I also like the design - basically I wanna keep it.
I don't really wanna do this, as I know I can pick up a 22" monitor fairly cheap - probably a similar price to paying someone to fix the controls. This appears to be a known issue with this monitor around this age, but the only advice I've seen online is to take the monitor to a monitor service professional and have it examined/replace micro switch etc. I've had this monitor about 5 years, so it's certainly served its purpose even though the brightness has begun to automatically increase by itself randomly (the brightness button is right next to the power button, so I'm presuming this is how it has gotten faulty).
