No power to monitor

My pc was on and working fine when the monitor just turned off. I checked the power cable and the plug fuse had blown. I replaced the power cable but now the monitor won't turn on. There is no light. Nothing. Any ideas on what has gone wrong and what i need to fix/replace? Thanks

Sounds like one problem: A failed monitor. For sure, try another monitor on the PC first, in order to rule it out (hopefully!) So... your otherwise standard-looking power cable has a fuse in its plug and that fuse was blown? Then you put a standard power cord on the monitor but it was still dead? If this is the case, then the monitor needs component-level troubleshooting, probably in the power supply section.

Your problem is really multiple problems. One is if the monitor blew out, the second is weather it damaged the computer when it went, the third is if the computer went first killin the monitor. I would first see if your computer is ok by turning it on with out any monitor connected and listen to hear if it sounds as usual. If not something may be wrong with your computer. If everything is ok plug in another monitor (borrow from a freind if you do not have a spare) and see that the computer is ok. If it's ok great but if there is a problem with the computer that is a whole new question.Next if the monitor's on light does not come on and you know it has power the monitor is most likely fried. Hope this helps and could use more details

Krk 10 s will not power up what to check first why it's not working

If your KRK 10S studio monitors are not powering up, there are a few things you can check to try to determine the cause of the issue:
  1. Check the power source: Make sure that the power outlet you are using is working and that the power cable is securely plugged into the monitor and the outlet.
  2. Check the power switch: Make sure that the power switch on the monitor is turned on and that it is not stuck in the off position.
  3. Check the fuse: Check to see if the fuse on the back of the monitor is blown. If it is, replace it with a new one of the same rating.
  4. Check the voltage: Make sure that the voltage on the power outlet is appropriate for your monitors.
  5. Check the cables: Make sure that all the cables (power, audio, etc) connected to the monitor are securely plugged in and not damaged.
  6. Check the internal power supply: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that the problem may lie with the internal power supply of the monitor. In this case, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a professional to have the monitor repaired or serviced.
It's also important to make sure that the monitors are not in a power saving mode. Consult the manual for more information on how to check the power-saving modes.
If you are still having issues with your KRK 10S studio monitors after trying these troubleshooting steps, you may need to contact KRK support for further assistance.

When i turn on the monitor it displays fine, about 1 sec. later it just turns black but the power is still on.

If you are going to DIY and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on:
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed DELL monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

I have an averatec D1002UHCE-1 and for no reason the screen is not turning on. LEDs and Fans turn on but the screen does not show anything. What can i do?

Clarification - I have the same problem. Keep in mind that this is an All-in-one. There is no cable from PC to monitor. PC is built into the monitor. I suspect that the motherboard needs to be replaced, since even if it is the graphics adapter, it's on the motherboard...

My computer is not working

  1. First check fuse at the plug, if cable powers say your monitor the cable and fuse are fine.
  2. Get hold of another power supply and try to power up the computer using the new one, if still ded its your motherboard and youll need to replace it.

Monitor won't turn on

Check that all the cables are connected properly, Mine wouldn't come on about a week ago, and the power cord was connected fine, It was the VGA that set it off... Try that, and call me if it doesn't work :p

Dell E197FP LCD Monitor won't turn on completely dead

could be dead, but check to ensure that you are using the monitor ONLY, not TV tuner device. as a standalone, not hooked to cpu if there is no power light when plugged in assume your buying a new monitor.

Monitor no signal

Check to see if there is more than one 15-pin monitor connection on the back of your computer. If there is, try plugging the video cable into the other one.

Is this a new monitor? Was it working before this? Does your computer sound like it is starting up normally?
