2232BW+ blinks from grey to grey bars

Dec 5, 2008 11:05AM PST

When the 2232BW+ was first turned on, it went to some sort of test pattern of various density grey horizontal bars alternating with a blank grey screen. No controls did anything. Unplugged it, plugged and back and got the same thing. After a few minutes, it started working correctly and was fine for a few hours, then it suddenly did the blicking grey again for a few minutes. It has now been OK for a day. Any idea what is going on?

Try this....

RTimmons,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your 2232BW.

Once the unit is on, you might try pressing the menu button for about 12 seconds. Then, press it again for about 12 seconds. It should reset itself.

Keep me posted!

It's a great monitor with no defects, so didn't want to return it. But always in the back of my mind is, what if it starts doing that again. Very good to know something to try.
