For the last two days it has been intermittantly turning to black as it comes out of the powersaver. Turning the monitor off and on seemed to fix it. This morning however there was no power light on attempting to turn on. Checked mains power was there and then found Steve's brilliant advice on disassembling the monitor. Unfortunately there is no obvious damage while inspecting the board.
Does anyone have a list of test-points and signals or voltages for the boards please?For the last two days it has been intermittantly turning to black as it comes out of the powersaver.

Disassemble the monitor and check the power board for blown capacitors. To do this remove the 4 screws holding the back on, unclip the cover where the stand is fixed to the screen chassis and remove 4 further screws securing the stand. Carefully prize off the bezel (I found a mid sided flat blade screwdriver inserted and slid sideways with an occasional gentle twist worked well, I started at the bottom of the sreen so if I made a mark interting the blade it would not show). Unscrew but do not disconnect the wires to the keyboard board so it moved enough to allow the back cover to be slipped off. Remove two screws and slide off the EMI cover. You should now see the power board - the one the power cable plugs into. Check the capacitors - its likely you will see one or more have blown and are bulging. Replacements cost approx 50p / 1$ each you will need good de/soldering skills, soldering iron and solder ****** or desolder braid. This voids any warrantee - but then if you had warrantee you wouldn't fix it yourself anyway. Note that all the above is based on UK spec monitor.

in control panel, select the power Options,, Change the preffered plans to HIGH PERFORMANCE then click on change plan settings, change turn of diaplayto never and put computer to sleep never... Remember to turn on your screen saver and put the pc to sleep manually when not using it.
this is a common problem and caused by corrupted registry entries. The popper fix is to reformat or restore the system.
Your new moniter may not be compatible with your computer. I have an Emachines that won't take a flat screen. I have to use a big bulky moniter because it says not connected even thought the hookup fits the back of the tower. That might be your problem. Did your old moniter work correctly?
If your TV was plugged into a power strip with a surge arrestor, the power strip may need a reset (if there is a reset button) or replacement (those surge arrestors are only good for so many "hits". Try plugging the TV in elsewhere.
If it was not plugged into a surge suppressor, it is time to call a repairman.
Techguru2009: You need to reset the bios to defaults and make sure all devices are connected before you turn your computer on. Make sure in the bios setup that the setting for the keyboard is usb support. If this does not work then you might have a faulty video card. Or you might need to reinstall the monitor in the operating system. If you are running windows operating system click on start button, administrative tools folder, select computer management. Alternative, click on the run command on the start menu and type compmgmt.msc. When the program starts click on device manager. On the right side of pane click on monitors. Find all monitors right click on each one and unistall all of them. When you restart your computer the operating system should recognize plug and play monitor and intall it automatically. I hope this method works for you.
There are several problems when discoleration happens to moniters. One is that a connection inside the moniter becomes loose so you can just try and jiggle the cord around a bit to see if that helps. if now go into your moniters menu by pressing one of the grey buttons and first try going into your color options and adjusting the settings in there. IF that doesent work try going into an extras setting or Other settings, im not to sure what its under but find the demagnitize option and select that.
