I have a ViewSonic vx900 LCD monitor. Yesterday we had a power surge which rebooted the cpu. When it restarted, the monitor screen was all white. I am able to use another monitor on the same cpu so I do not believe it is a video card or motherboard problem. I have no other issues with the cpu and it works just fine. I have tried re-installing the monitor drivers but have had no luck so far. Normally I would just assume the monitor went bad but last week I did have some spyware removed using the pest patrol program. I am wondering if one/some files remove by the pest patrol were needed for the monitor. I have researched many areas concerning monitor problems but have not seen anything specific to just a full white screen. The monitor is still under warranty and I did speak to tech support but all he told me was to send it to them for repair. I am not totally convinced the monitor went bad and I hate to send it away and have to wait for repairs which might not be needed. Has anyone else experienced an issue like this and can help with a quick fix that I might be overlooking.
