FS: Mitsubishi 2040u 22" Display [dead?]

My 4 year old, 22" Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2040u Diamondtron NF monitor has gone on the fritz. Went dark with no warning Sunday eve past.

I believe it's an input signal problem; the LED green remains on for ±14secs, then clicks to amber for ±3secs then back to green. Display remains black. Tried different vidcard, BNC cable, PC. Power cord is built into chassis.

Cosmetically perfect.. no scratches.

Anyway, I'm selling it. I suppose a monitor geek might be able to tweak this puppy or perhaps just replace a part and have a pretty nice refurbished monitor to sell or keep. Use for spare parts, maybe. Original manual only included.

Selling for $100, plus shipping. Weight unpackaged: 68.3# from zip code 91303.

Please don't crap on my thread if you aren't interested [or you may find your post gone ]. If you are interested in purchasing, please PM or email me so we can work out details.

Product is sold AS-IS . Will be shipped without insurance but with tracking. I will shipped insured [or any other way you wish] at your request and expense. Any questions, feel free to post or PM/email.

My Heatware

Thanks for looking.

ill give you a bump socalgal, sounds like a common problem with monitors, im good friends with a "monitor guy." and odds are extremely high that this problem can be fixed for less than 50 bucks at your local monitor shop.

150 bucks for a flawless 22" incher is a dang good deal IMO wish i had another 22" er to match it because id be all over your deal socalgal

Actually, I'm going to make some local calls today to see if I can salvage it rather inexpensively. So, this offer could change at any time.

Thanks, DPA And YGPM.

I guess there are not many monitor geeks/fixers-uppers in the world.. Still for sale!

I had the exact same thing happen to me last week. Its not taking any signal but its getting power just fine.

Did you get this resolved? I'd love to Salvage this monitor.

Hi cmd~

Sorry to hear it happened to you, too!

No.. Couldn't find anyone to even look at it, unless I wanted to cart it 30 miles plus I didn't want to pay for labor on a 'maybe'. Then I figured even if that got fixed, something else would die on it, considering this happened.

I ended up trashing it just this past week Bought a Sony Mulitscan E540 from Newegg with which I'm quite happy. This display has much better white contrast than the Mitsu ever did.

I even have a 5yo 15" Sony Vaio that's still as good as the day I bought it. I'll never buy a monitor other than Sony again.

Sounds like Mitsubishi uses the 4 year, 'built-in obsolesence' feature. Pretty sad for a $1100+ monitor, if you ask me...

Aw, sorry to hear that. I loved the Mitsu -- got such a great deal on it at the time, too. Glad your happy with your new Sony. I'm still checking out my options.

Yeah, the Mitsu was pretty nice but I still like Sony better.

I wish you the best of luck in salvaging it. If you do, please post back to let us know by whom/where it was repaired and what was wrong?

Thanks!
