i just bought an lcd monitor on e-bay, (15 inch synco brand i think), while getting ready to put it on the desk, i knocked it onto the floor, power light lights to green and quickly changes to orange, i can very faintly make out that box that pops up concernoning menu or something, is there any hope of me fixing this?, could it be just a backlight? any help would be appreciated

Very often the problem is that when an LCD monitor is dropped, the ribbon cable and power cables which have very little slack become partially unconnected from the ports they plug into. Unplug the monitor, remove the back casing, and have a look to make sure the ribbon and power cables are seated properly. If in doubt, reseat them by hand.

Good luck...
