This is a Common problem MOST if NOT ALL, problems like this with this type of fault it is invairably a problem with the Power Supply, in the PSU Electrolytic capacitors dry out and often cause this type of exact problem... It is a relitively simple fix, by replacing the caps with new ones... Any good shop should be able to fix for a modest fee.. OR if ya know anyone handy with a soldering iron maybe they could do it for you there are generally about 4 - 6 to replace... in the PS section, just do them all to be safe.. Generally most LCD's problems can be traced back to a bad PSU... almost 80% of the "problems" I find in my shop are indeed this.

When I turn on my computer my Scepter 24"LCD monitor will immediately turn to sleep mode. The little blue light is still on this is how I know it is just not dead. Every now and then I am able to turn off the monitor and then turn it back on and there wont be a problem for a few hours then it starts again. I have had some luck pressing the sleep mode button on the monitor a few times also but I am stumped and need some help. Thank you.

At first the "brick" light would flash on and off. Sometimes more of a fading type of on/off. The on/off switch on the monitor just blinks. Bottom line is the monitor will not come on...Is this a power supply cord issue, or something wrong with the monitor? I don't want to buy a new cord if that is not the problem....And of course, hate to buy a whole new monitor....Is there anyway of knowing what the problem is before I start spending money?
