This problem is due to trouble in the inverter circuit which powers the lights inside the monitor. (LCD monitors require a light source so you can see the display. Your display is still there but you can't see it.) It is repairable. Usually the cause is failure of capacitors in the inverter circuit that need to be replaced. I haven't worked on this particular model so I can't give exact part numbers or values. Follow the wires that come from the backlight to the circuit board and you will see the inverter circuitry. Capacitors in that area should be checked and replaced if they are visibly swollen or have tops that have split, or if their values are out of tolerance. Although there are other possible faults, this often get the monitor going again.

Exactly the same problem with a Mag monitor

Comment by gjj1947, posted on Nov 15, 2008

I have a X2gen MW22U monitor. It stays on for a few seconds and goes blank. I have to turn the power off then on again. It won't stay on. Also the left side of the screen is slightly darker than the right. I tried the auto adjust but it only partially helps.
