Monitor keeps blank even the power lLED is on green

Next time you get it working, change the resolution on your pc to match the monitor settings, maybe they are 1024 x 768 on your pc but monitor will only allow for 800 x 600.

Hope this helps.

You say it's a 14" CRT but you posted the problem under "Likom - HD15A (Black) 15" _LCD_ Monitor"

So if it IS a CRT and you've been using it with no problems for some time on that PC it sounds like it's time for a new monitor.

You said you tried a second monitor of the same model and it works fine? And you said the power LED stays green when the monitor goes blank so your power cable/connection is fine.

Hate to say it but it's time for a new monitor.


If you DO have an LCD it could be the back-light inverter board which can be replaced.

Good Luck and let me know how it goes,

I suspect the problem is with the monitor itself. I have had the same problem. I reported it to Dell and they sent me a new monitor within a few days the problem resurfaced again on the new monitor. They have since sent me a new monitor and the problem has disappeared.

The Dell customer service people sounded rather cagy to me when I suggested that this was a problem endemic to this model. The replacement monitor that I have had a sticker on the box that read "refurbished". This is a rather new model of monitor to already be into selling "refurbished" models.

If you are still under warranty I suggest you call them. And even if you aren't, call them anyway. I sense that they know about this problem.

you better buy a new one fixing just damage the monitors board heating the pcb just lessen the time you can use it!

its good that u hav replace the power cable...
but..to know that its a monitor problem or a the comp:
***turn on the comp. and unplugg the monitor connector from the back of the comp., if u see the msg on the screen which says"no input signal" that means the monitor is absolutely fine..
***try to unplugg all the cables from the back of the comp.including the ethernet cable, printer, etc..and then press and hold down the power button on the front panel of the comp. for 45 secs and then release it..after that connect only the monitor cable, power cable and turn on the comp. it will boot properly.. and then try to connect each cable and restart the comp...if its still not work
***then try to turn on the comp. and keep tapping the f8 key like tapp tapp tapp..if u see the windows advanced options then select safe mode and hit enter...
***or else try f1 and check for the set up utility.... if it comes then press f5 and then f10 "load defaults settings" highlight yes and hit enter... pls reply wht happens.. so that i can proceed with other troubleshooting steps.. tk. care bye AYUSKANT
