Hope this will help... Your response is very much appreciated....

Let find out first if it is the powered speakers in the monitor problem or in the PC sound card problem.
Feed the monitor with sound source such as MP3 player to see if you do get the sound, if not, more likely to be bad speaker amps circuits problem which will not be worth putting the money to have it repair since you can spend the repair money on a good set of power speakers that will you so much better sound than the monitor built-in speakers about the size of a quarter.

i also have a 19" westinghouse monitor the screen on mine goes black i just turn the monitor of then back on the problem is it's overheating and from what i understand it's caused by faulty or worn capacitors the ones that are bad are vented on top so it's easy to tell the bad ones. you can see what they look like on line!

More likely to be bad caps in the power supply, you will have to invest money in tools to do the repair.
Please read on so you will have some ideas if you want to fix it or not.
If you are going to DIY and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on:
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

most user manuals for these moniters you can get on line (free downloads)
it will explain how to use the buttons on your monitor

Usually monitor cables are standard, and are the same as your PC. You may want to try the one from your PC see if that works fine, then you know exactly what to get.

Hello,

It sounds like 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 pictures 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. If your problem is not the capacitors then it would be the backlights and that is much more difficult to replace.

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.
