I loved this monitor up until about a month ago, now I have the same problem as you guys. If I repeatedly turn the power button off and then on again, I eventually get the display to stay up. I expect I'll have to buy another monitor soon and it sure won't be a Sceptre.
My Sceptre Komodo 19 would turn on for less than a second than turn off. Eventually, I could get it to stay up. But after a month, I couldn't get it to stay on anymore.
I found the solution on this website. There are some bad capacitors... 4 of them for about $2 worth. I replaced all four and the monitor works fine again. They are soldered in. They are polarized; they need to be installed the right way.The white stripe goes towards the “wall”.
2 are 470uf 25v and 2 are 1200uf 10v.
I ordered mine for about $10 with shipping from Mouser.com 661-EKZE250ETD471MJ1 and 647-UHE1A122MPD

just like antdotwhat my monitor started doing the same thing as theirs on the same date. I turned on my computer and the on light flashed on and of constantly this time with a black screen. I turned the computer off and back on and the monitor started working properly. This morning I turned it on and same thing. I tried turning the computer off and this time it would not work. I tried this several times. I think the monitor is no good anymore.
