SOURCE: Monitor turns on, but only flashes once and no screen appears
Hello,
You have a monitor with a common problem. After a few years some LCD monitors
will blow a power supply. The problem is caused by parts called
capacitors overheating in the confined space of he monitor. If you are
good at electronics repair/soldering you can usually fix he problem. Check out a few pictures on my web site www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm
You can take the back cover off your monitor and look for the bad
parts, replace any that look like the pictues and your monitor should
work fine. The capacitors do need to be installed with the correct +
and - connections, note the stripe on the old one and insert the new
one the same way. If you don't want to try the repair yourself we offer
a repair service for $35 plus shipping. I hope this helps, if so please
rate my solution.

Have you tried flexing the board. Maybe one of the line filter caps is open. probly don't have to worn you but when powered up you should have about 160 volts on these caps. Good for melting misplaced probes. This being a switching supply it will not power up unless it sees the correct voltage here. (128-340vdc depending on line voltage)

hi there, the pro you talked to may be wrong in the first place as viruses tend to damage software programs(such as windows)
and not hardware(such as your monitor)
the problem maybe a different one, i am afrais you will ahve to see a tech about it...
good luck

Do you need the complete power supply or just the power cord?
Try any local computer source... Best Buy, Radio Shack etc.
