My monitor comes on for a sec blue light then nothing. thought it was my computer took it to shop fix it told nothingwrong with comuter. So it must be the monitor.

try with restarting computer & press F8 at the same time. u will see a menu where choose "safe mode" & start the computer. in safe mode see the display properties, set the refresh rate & resolution according to monitors specifications, apply & restart again. if that does not work, replace the main board of lcd monitor.

Maybe the video has a problem, usually things like this can only be caused by 2 things, first is the memory or the RAM, try reseating, take it off then plug it in back, it. If this doesn't work most probably you have a video problem. Video problems are only to be fixed by experts.

Make sure the DVI or VGA cable is securely plugged into both the computer and monitor. If this doesn't work, try plugging the monitor into another computer. If it works when attached to a different computer, then the issue lies with the computer and not the monitor.
Good luck. Please rate if this was helpful.

sounds like your video card is dead ... without computer Specs can't tell you what video card to get but your local computer shop can fix for you

At this point I believe there are failed caps in your monitor.

This is very common in all LCD monitors. Did the tech just push the power switch off and on?
From my experience at fixing broken monitors of all brands, I think it is the power supply problem.

You can get second help from repair shop also.

are you getting a check signal cable message? any on screen instructions?

try the cable, if it works on another monitor, then sorry to say but your monitor is fried

Hi My screen developed exactly the same problem. It appears to be a hardwear problem associated with the screen it's self. continuity test is ok on the lead so I took it back to the shop under warranty and hey presto, the replacement works. I don't know what the problem is but there are a number of other folks on another thread with the same problem and their entries are dated May 09 too.  Dave

Try Pushing together the body of monitor in middle top areaWhere the Word gateway is Imprinted ,Loose connection on ribbion probably,on mine ,but I think I got LUCKY here honestly,


Just try it before disassembly

It looks more with screen resolution problem, if it is new then the best option is get it replaced.
