Bulb has blown in my 17" fujitsu siemens monitor please advise where I can buy a new one cheap!

If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors
- Flickering screen
- Screen image disappears after several seconds
- Dim screen
- Slow start
- Power LED on, but no picture
- Unusual colors and/or lines
The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad.
If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced.
New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life of your monitor or TV by several years.
Check the cables, connectors and connections.
Take it to a repair shop.

try changing source VGA , HDMI, DVI

Monitor ia having a problem with Voltage filtration... Replace the electrolitic capacitors at secondary side of power board, There are 2 voltages, 12 V and 5V...each of them has few electrolitic capacitors in line, replace them, watch the polarity and all works...Cause of eletrolitic capacitors on secondary side may be the one little capacitor in the primary side, becarefull there is some high voltage out there

Try connecting each monitor to a different desktop/laptop computer, to rule-out the possibility that the video-card on your own computer is the cause of the problem.

Which is cheaper:
* spending $50 to $75 to have a qualified technician "trouble-shoot"
* spending $50 to $100 to buy a used 17" (not 15") LCD monitor?

I do not want to offend you with simple comments, yet... did you connect the speaker connections from the computer to the PROPER socket on the monitor? There may be input AND output sockets that look the same. Also, on the monitor there is/are controls for the speaker volume from the monitor which is separate from the volume control on the computer.
I hope this helps.

Register and pump in the details of your monitor , someone will have a driver to suit

What are you using as a interface between your computer and monitor? It sounds like you may be using a digital analog converter. Example would be a 15 pin dsub VGA to DVI adapter or vise/versa. If your using a purely digital interface like Display Port, DVI, or HDMI then you have a bad controller in your monitor. Try to do warranty claim if this is the case.

Check power options...How to:- go to control panel and type power in the right hand box ie search control panel then change power options...

you can get adapters to connect, try "other world computing"
