Just installed the product, but after I plug the power cord, my LCD monitor keeps blinking and cannot see anything. Camera lid already removed.

Try letting it charge for a bit first. It operates off an internal battery as far as I can tell, and the power charges it.

Hey, I had the same issue and was able to resolve following the instructions in that site: http://www.summerinfant.com/consumer-care/faqs/my-video-monitor-is-saying-no-signal-no-camera-out The steps are (in case the page is off-line): The Monitor and Camera are synched at the factory for privacy reasons. If the Monitor and Camera are not synching with each other for any reason, please sync them as described below. 1. Move the Monitor and camera right next to each other so they are only inches apart and make sure both are plugged in. 2. Turn both the Camera and Monitor on. 3. To add camera, press the add camera button from the touch menu. Press the up and down arrows to navigate to the "add camera" option press the check mark icon to select and enter the "add cam" menu. Navigate the left or right button to select the camera to be synched. Press the check mark icon and the camera image should start blinking. 4. Press and hold the code button on the back of the camera head to synch (may take up to 20 seconds). 5. Once synched, a picture from the newly added camera should appear on the monitor screen. 6. If this is unsuccessful, you should repeat steps above making sure the Camera and Monitor are close enough to each other for synching.

Best to unhook battery cables via back. I did not and i think i fried the video card or main board. Good luck take pictures as you go.

Yep, just happened to me. I called the Motorola CSR who was anything but helpful. Told me to take out the battery for 10 minutes to reset it (you mean like I had already done 10 or 12 times?!). Useless. Didn't help that it was 1.5 yrs old, just out of warranty. So I took apart the monitor myself. Turns out there's a poorly designed flimsy switch that's soldered to the motherboard. If you press too hard it will cause the delicate soldered parts to fail, not right away, but I found that I had to keep pressing harder and harder over time to get it to work. Then one day it just would not power on anymore. Now, I'm trying to find an electronic store to solder it back on cuz I'm sure that's going to be cheaper than a new monitor! Thanks alot, no-help Motorola!

Unplug the lcd connector and plug it back, but if that doesn't work probably is the lcd problem, try with different lcd

All i did was make sure the light was on with all pixels lighting and plugged into a wall outlet. The light went out and began to chage. Once I pulled the light from the outlet it automatically goes on - which I think replicates its use in a power failure. Hope this helps...

I had the same problem...you have to rest your panel. Google your panel and you should find instructions to do so.

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems. My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

You have to make sure that you plug the included USB cord from the back of the monitor (right next to the DVI input) into your computer (or a connected hub), just as you would any other USB hub. They certainly should have included this in the instructions!

My first guess would be that you need to replace the screen. They are pretty flimsy. It could be the LCD wiring from the motherboard to the screen, but I haven't every had issues with the cords.

"I" myself, have not experienced anything like that but, perhaps try unplugging or disconnecting the power cord for a minute or so, then reconnecting, - effectively "rebooting" the unit-- that may work.

Do you mean the monitor is connected to you backup lights? It could be that there is a surge of power upon ignition that is tripping however you have monitor power wired--but the surge isnt making it to the backup camera--and the display shows no signal because the camera isnt powered/relaying video

sorry, it has been so long since we hooked it up i forgot. There were 2 hot wires going to the monitor, one did not go on automatically so i used the other. The unit works well, after several months.

We've not had that problem (yet). My only thought is the internal sensitivity element and the sensitivity button are not making a connection. It may be necessary to open the monitor to determine if something has come loose. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No. I pulled mine apart because of the same issue and found it was the back lighting (shine a flashlight when it is on and you will see your screen still works, just no backlight). The lower CCFL wires for mine had a bunch of unidentifiable crystal like corrosion which might be due to bad SIC insulation but my CCFLs worked fine. I cleaned the corrosion and tested good. Prior to that I swapped out all of my electrolytic capacitors on the supply board. Still nothing. Considering getting a new one to match my good one or buy two new monitors and move on.....not sure yet.

Hi.. The blinking dots will eventually become permanent. After plugging in the new unit, it took care of all the dots and was clearer than ever. It's a great fix.
