Viewsonic VX2235WM monitor

[Fullzie58]

Hello,

I have owned this widescreen computer monitor for just over one year now and i have come across a problem. The push power button has become depressed into the outter housing and i am unable to turn it on. I have inquired with Viewsonic about warranty work with no luck. They tell me that most likely they won't repair the monitor because it is classified as physical damage and then they would have to charge me the return shipping to get it back unrepaired. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem before and if there is a way to fix it myself without doing too much damage to the monitor. Your help is much appreciated.

I'm tearing into one of these to fix the power supply, at the moment.

>> To open up the monitor, remove the pedastal from the back (remove the covers on either side of the mount at the base of the monitor - squeeze and lift).
>> Then remove the pedastal - 3 screws on each side for 6 total.
>> Then remove the 3 screws at the back of the monitor - 2 up top/middle, and 1 under where the mount fit.
>> Now go around the edges of the monitor and pry the two halves apart.

Once this is done, you should be able to access the button and put it back into position. You may want to check that no tabs or features on the button broke, though, that might be the root cause of the trouble.

Let me know if this helps.

There is nothing too wrong up there....your computer is fine just the switch has been toggled too hard and thus the depression so you have top physically remove the frame of the monitor and fix up the switch...follow the above instructions should be a very easy job.
