Ok - problem is that my monitor randomly goes black. I say goes black, not turns off, because the monitors power button stays on(green lit). My monitor is a 23 inch TV that has a VGA connection on the back. Its an Insignia(best buy brand).
When it goes black all I have to do is push the VGA button on the remote and the picture will come back. Some times it goes black within a second again and I push the button again. I do this usually 4-5 times and the monitor will start to "cycle"(going black and showing picture) about 3 times then the picture will stay on. Some times it stays on for hours - some times the problem happens within 5 minutes. Here is a video in case my description absolutely sucks.

- To clarify, this units sole function is my computer monitor. If it were my computer causing the problem, I feel that the monitor would either turn off or hitting the VGA on the remote would have no effect.Oct 15, 2007
- Alright - My TV/Monitor just got back from Best Buy. They said that the
inverter had been replaced. I do not know if this fixed the problem.
When I got there they brought out my monitor and looked like someone
had ran the thing along a wall and was all scratched up - where it was
silver on the side was now scratched up black and the plastic bag that
it was wrapped in was actually warn through in a few spots. So I
started to complain, now I'm looking at a 26" insignia :o)
