i think that problem is from component in u're monitor..something has burn or destroy...

pandres, Your monitor will need troubleshooting to find out reason why the 2 "cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps" fail to remain lighted. They provide "white light" so you can see what is on the lcd panel. Connect a "known good" monitor to your pc to prove monitor is bad. If pc is ok, then your monitor will need repair. This type problem not new and is very common for all brands of ccfl back-lit lcd monitors. Watch some video clips at YOUTUBE that show disassembly and repair of ccfl lcd monitors.

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, 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 monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

90% of the failed LCD monitors are due to bad capacitors (bulging top/seal, or leaking) in the power supply, or bad solder joints, etc.. You can look for them first. Please see the pictures here to see what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

You need to download the specific video drivers for your computer. Windows only includes generic drivers. Go online to support.(my computer brand - insert your brand here).com and follow the manufacturers instructions for downloading drivers. While there I would suggest downloading all the drivers possible for your brand of computer. By the way - don't pay for the drivers, nearly all are free. Good luck

If you mean the on light goes dim, then I've had the same problem - unplug both computer and monitor - hold power button for monitor for 15-30 seconds...then power it back on and then power on the computer. Seems from other sites there is a power issue with the monitor - this worked for me.

Hi,

According to LCDParts, an inverter for an AOC LM700 would cost $69.99. Specs (with picture) are available here.

Perhaps you can do a Google for lesser priced versions.

Good luck and kind regards.

does your monitor have an external transformer as the psu ?
If so, try disconnecting at mains for about 5 seconds and re-connect. failing that we'll need to dig deeper.

That is definitely a problem with the monitor...if its under warranty have it replaced...if not...start looking for a replacement it hardly ever is worth it to have them repaired (shipping, parts, labor is usually a little less than a new monitor). Sorry
