connect an external monitor to your laptop and check if you get display on the external monitor. if there is display than the issue is with the laptop monitor and you should replace the monitor screen, if the problem still remains the same when you connect the external monitor than it could be a software related issue. check and see if you get any display in BIOS mode. if you do then it could mean the OS is corrupted and you should reinstall the OS

Compaq WF1907 monitor keeps going to sleep every couple minutes..

Sounds like the backlight may be on its way out.

Put a large font single word onto the screen in a high contrast such as white on black. Get the monitor near a window if possible, and the next time the monitor seems to go off, see if you can still feintly see the image using natural light.

The backlight can be replaced, but it is somtimes so expensive, it's easier to buy a new monitor.

How old is it?

Monitor connects and displays for 2 seconds, then blacks out.

I would suspect an electrical component is failing. Try your monitor on another computer and see if it does the same thing. If it does, the monitor is failing. Also/Or try another monitor on your computer. If the new monitor does the same as the old monitor, then maybe the video card in your computer is failing. Try a new video card. Keep trying different component combinations until you decide what has to be failing.

Monitor going black

HP's are known for bad capacitors in the power supply.
Replacing them is simple if you know how..not so simple if you don't.
Try your local TV repair centre. It should not cost alot to have the capacitors replaced.

Hope it helps =)
