Hello everyone.

I am having a rather strange problem with one of my TFT headrest monitors. I have two headrest monitors on my Lexus IS250. Each of the monitor has a small sort of power regulating circuit board with a 2A transparant fuse. The monitors have been hardwired into the Cigarette Socket, and according to my lexus owners manual, the Cigarette Socket has a 15A fuse. The problem is as follows:

After starting up the monitors the one with the problem seems to work for around 5minutes or so and then just completely goes white with vertical lines. The other one however doesnt do that. I have tried to run just one at a time also tried both at the same time with no Luck. Once i get this white screen I have to either press the power button and power the screen off and back on or I have to press input source button to switch to the second input source and then come back to the input source. After this it works for a very little while and does the same thing over and over again.

I then tried to power the screen with a AC to DC adaptor that I have which provides 12V supply with 1.2A. When I run it of this plug it seems to run perfectly fine. But however if i plug it back into the car's supply it does the same thing over and over again. I replaced the 2A fuse that the small power regulator has with a 1.5A fuse but it still does the same thing.

Can anyone please advise me on possible solutions. I do not want to have to replace the screen as it is not under warranty or anything, bought it off eBay.

Would really appreciate any help

Thank you

Try pulling a wire directly from the battery to test them.
