Tgordon60, If you know how those NEW "CURLIE-Q" energy efficient CFL light bulbs produce WHITE LIGHT, then you will know what makes an LCD display panel produce all the pretty colors and the WHITE BACKGROUND of the FIXYA web page!!! Only difference is that your "cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps" are thinner and straight, and hung on rear of LCD glass panel and have a DC to AC electronic ballast called an "INVERTER" circuit to produce 600 to 1000vac to light them up. Get to my FIXYA profile and read my responses to other BLACK screen lcd owners to learn about all your options for repair. Follow any of the links to other web pages you find there. Your monitor not any different than ACER, DELL, VIEWSONIC, BENQ, SONY, AOC!!!!! 12fixlouie aka louie12fix
lacourent, Internal ac to dc power supply printed circuit board is going into "shut-down-mode" because it has detected a "fault" condition!! Two dc sources are needed to operate unit's electronics to have display work properly. ( 5vdc and 12vdc ) If 5 is ok, you might see a very faint image of the WIN-Desktop screen if you hold a bright flashlight 1 inch from screen. If no image can be seen then both dc sources (switch mode power supply/CCFL inverter supply will need to be troubleshooted to determine the cause of failure!!! I do suggest a visit to YOUTUBE to see some video clips of owners/technicians that have posted typical repair videos on what to look for and the "bad" failed electrolytic filter capacitors that cause many monitors to fail!!! What brand "name" capacitors do you have installed on your power supply board? I sure hope they are not "CapXon" , "Jun-Fu" , "Elite" brand. Check out some pictures in "budmrtn" fixya profile. He has some good pic's to look at of swollen filter capacitors. Bye for now. 12fixlouie
You are wrong my friend. Gateway theft deterrent mode. It thinks he stole his own monitor, and Gateway wants $40 to fix the problem if its out of warranty. I think its the only way they can make money these days, i know ill replace my monitor very soon.
