Soccerstu546, The video information is being displayed.... but you just don't have any cold-cathode-fluorescent-tubes" emitting enough WHITE-LIGHT to brighten up the image and or text. If you have never used a soldering iron and solder and don't know an electrolytic cap from a mylar cap then you should look into swapping out your monitor if DELL has a cash+monitor swapout program going. They will return to you a refurbished unit that should last at least 1-2years. You should read up on the top 2 reasons LCD monitor screens GO BLACK!!! I almost guarantee you will be in the one for FAILED SMPS/INVERTER SUPPLY. You may also need to search or visit www.badcaps.net and other sites that deal with failed lcd displays. you could even try right here on fixya to get it REFURBISHED! Wow, If you saw some 8-12min vid clips on youtube you might even want to do your own disassembly of your LCD Monitior just so you can use you digital still camera to document any SWOLLEN ELECTROLYTIC FILTER CAPACITORS that are inside the monitor. Also try moving and connecting your monitor to a different PC. If same result---Then monitor is BAD. Well--anyhow bye for now. louie12fix on fixya or lmistyrel @aol.com
