Benq Monitor Service Manual
BenQ (Acer or AcerView)Date of creation is July 8 2003.I am a qualified service technician (retired). I was in theTelevision, Radio and VCR repair for 30 years.I wanted a service manual for my AcerView 7134T Monitor which was built inJanuary 1998.
I called BenQ America Corp. Customer Service & Support(888-723-2238).The girl on the phone told me that they do not sell service manuals. I thenasked to speak with somebody with authority, the girl took my phone number andsaid they would call.A man did call and refused to sell me a service manual. He said Benq hasrepair stations, two in the United States, one in New Jersey and one in California.The reason that he gave for not selling me a service manual was legal reasons,he said that they are afraid of getting sued if somebody got hurt because theysold a service manual.I think that is just plain stupid.Why do they think that a person who states that they are a qualified service technicianwould get hurt by reading and using one of their service manuals. Much less suethem.
Folks, we are talking about a manual that is for certain to have warningsabout electrical shock in bold print.There are schematics on the internet for their monitors and othermanufacturers.I do not like doing business with a company that wants to keep all therepairs to themselves or that are so afraid of getting sued, that they will notsell you a piece of paper.At this time I own three of their products. AcerView 7134T 14 inch monitor,AcerScan 620ST scanner and a Acer ScanWit 2720S film scanner.I will not buy another one of BenQ's products.Update, the Acer ScanWit 2720S failed again and I trashed it. March 4 2004 Ibought a Konica Minolta Scan Dual IV to replace the film scanner. The KonicaMinolta Scan Dual IV is now discontinued and I have trashed the one I hadNew Information, if you want to see BenQ's own forum and see all of thecomplaints. I suggest you read the CRT Monitor forum. Click on Product Forum toopen up the list.September 11, 2005:With no thanks to Benq, I fixed this monitor. The information came from a website that had monitor repair tips.
One of the tips pointed me in the correct direction.Thank you Internet.November 02, 2009:Product Forum is gone now.
