LCD monitor lasted 8 years
I have been using an LG L2010P monitor since 2005. (Reason being that
I have one particular stupid software package that was hardwired for 1600x1200 resolution.) Anyway the backlight has been going dimmer and dimmer the last few weeks. So it must be consigned to the recycling yard. I have had quite a few that quit in half that time. |

Anyway the backlight has been going dimmer and dimmer the last few weeks. So it must be consigned to the recycling yard. I have had quite a few that quit in half that time. I've a 37" NEC about that old I fixed from sticking in standby with an IR remote power switch (comes up OK once power is totally removed for 30 seconds). This one is an Olevia 32" older than yours 232-S12 by a couple years or so (predates my NEC, too). It had dropped to semi-affordable sales prices from $1000 when LCDs like this were just coming out. I bought a year or two after these monitors first came out (luckily for the the next model up, Olevia sub'd in when the model# prior, I bought, crapped out under warrantee - solid QC and design model improvements, obviously, to have lasted this long.) Both are the only large-scale monitors I've owned. Both are hooked to computers only, and both are televisions. Guy I was trying to steer to a Toshiha LED 32 TV onsale this weekend for $199, I told him there's no appreciable difference other than a $10 tuner board they're sticking in. He was asking about a large dedicated PC monitor, or trying to shave some bucks from a regular TV. (Stay in the thick of the middle for saving bucks when DCA.) I'd probably be looking at that LCD Toshiba myself were I in need of it. Wouldn't take a relative no-name brand out of such as WallyMart. Buy the brand name, trust the rep/quality, and do it outsourced of the internet for a shipment in. Also, should tend doubt any actual overall viewing improvement really worth 10-year's difference given industry advancements (of course, the same argument would apply to CRT viewing or actual imagery - all apart a technology of PC on-the-fly scalable input conveniences, power draws, herniated tube weights, takeover gaming board pricing, subscription rates or any cableco bull****.) |

So we can do some math. 365 days/year x 8 hours/day x 8 years = 23360 hours Which sounds about right, for a good life span. ******* In a quick search, I couldn't see a replacement for the CCFL tubes for that one. Presumably someone sells a generic replacement for the job, but for some reason, it didn't come up in my search engine. Maybe it would take a couple hours work, to accidentally run into a site with a generic for it. If you like to tinker, you could try your hand at repairing it. Paul |

I'm running 3 Sharp monitors that I think are about that old, all are doing fine. Virtually every more recent monitor that my former employer bought are dead, though. |

put finger to keyboard and composed: I have been using an LG L2010P monitor since 2005. Here is a service manual: http://diagramas.diagramasde.com/mon...200A%20LCD.pdf http://www.go-gddq.com/upload/2009_0...2411507477.pdf http://elektrotanya.com/lg_l2010p_sm.pdf/download.html .... and a repair guide: http://elektrotanya.com/lg_flatron_l.../download.html LG's manuals normally have a parts list. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
