One of your bulbs may of died out, If it's an LCD take a powerful flashlight and put it up against the screen and see if you can see any visible print or images. If so the problem is one or more of your back light bulbs have burnt out and the inverter has shut down to prevent any shorts or other hazards of high voltage. If this is not the case and you see no print with a powerful flashlight then it may be dead. Make sure you have the screen set on a lighter section such as the windows log in screen, this will allow for optimal light to pass through the LCD making seeing any image much easier. Bulbs are hard to replace and LCDs are pretty reasonable in price. Id sell it as is on ebay and buy another one, it's just easier. There is a quick hack for this but it requires a little soldering. You can pick up a cheep neon bulb wall plug tester and use that soldered in to reactivate the inverter. That however is a take at your own risk quick fix/hack.

Samsung 920nm sync master Black screen

Samsung sync master monitors were well known for bad capacitors, if you have a esr capacitor meter you can check in circuit, if not look for dome shape at the top of the capacitor, a dead give away it is open, also check for poor solder connections in the power supply inverter board area.

My samsung sync master 151 -s screen is completely black, The rest of the pc opereates fine. The screen was working fine, then left to idle for a few hours now it appears really dark.

Try turning off the power to the monitor and the computer, check all the cables and power it all back up again. If the monitor is still black, try plugging it into another computer or into a laptop and see if it works there. If it does work, then the problem is the video card in the computer. If it is built into the mother board, then you can disable it in the bios setup and buy a PCI or AGP video card on eBay to plug into *********** board.

Start up problem with Samsung Sync Master 731BF 17" monitor

Hello,

Your internal power supply is failing. There are parts called capacitors that are not functioning correctly and this causes the power supply to not be able too stabilize the voltages that run the monitor. After repeated power cycles the capacitors will hold enough charge to function until you urn the unit off and then they discharge so you have to start all over again. We have a step by step repair guide article posted at: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/samsung-204b-lcd-monitor-repair/ This should get you back going again. If you don't want to do the repair yourself we do offer a repair service, you can get that information here: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/service-request-form/

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

Samsung SyncMaster 191T

Sounds like the invertor board in the monitor is bad or the LCD screen has had it and needs replacing.

No more image on SyncMaster 191T...but

I would suggest that your Video card isn't working correctly.. OR the drivers won't work properly. Try a replacement Video card.
