bbarker4, If you typed your FIXYA problem using your pc and a known good swapped-in spare monitor, you know your pc is ok. So now you know VS11201 needs to be looked at. Use warranty if valid option!!! Go search ebay for any "Optiquest Q9 power supply" for sale. Look for that board inside your monitor and chcek to see if your board has any swollen, leaky vertical mounted aluminum can electrolytic filter capacitors on your Q9 "switch-mode-power-supply"/ "CCFL inverter board! Please note the brand name of the capacitors you find and let me know if you will be doing a DIY repair. 12fixlouie
