Hello,
My Acer X223W 22-inch monitor isn't turning on, here's what's happening (and what I've done):
1. Plug power in, VGA cable into monitor and PC.
2. Press the power button on the monitor (while the PC is already powered on)
This is what happens:
-the power LED blinks amber (orange) and, every ~20 seconds, the Acer logo appears on the screen then disappears.
I tried randomly pressing and (and some times holding pressed for a few seconds) the various monitor buttons ('e', 'auto', 'menu', power) and the screen actually eventually (after ~5 minutes) turned on and I was able to use it for hours (and the picture was just fine).
But when I turned it off (to eat dinner) and tried turning it on again the same problem occurred: the power LED was flashing amber (orange) and the Acer logo would appear on the screen every ~20 seconds.
I tried randomly pressing the monitor buttons again for a few minutes, but this time the monitor would not turn on (as it did earlier today).
I've connected another monitor to my PC, using the same power cable and VGA cable, and it works as it should (I'm using it now while I type this message).
The only other post I've found here that outlines the same problem I'm having is this one from 2014:
https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/269988/acer-x223w-monitor-stopped-workingBut it doesn't appear as if it was resolved.
I'm having the same problem as was outlined by that post in 2014.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thank-you in advance for any help you can offer!
