HP f1703 - New Adapter Coming

May 16, 2005 11:14PM PDT

I had the same black out problem with my HP f1703 monitor. I called HP tech support, and they are sending me a new power adapter.

They had me shine a flashlight to the monitor to see if I could detect the picture or wallpaper that my computer was showing. I could. The monitor was still under warranty.

The problem is not the monitor, but rather the power adapter that supplies power to the monitor back light.
