Lcd monitor goes black after 5 seconds

-   FOLLOW UP. The temporary fix lasted three days for me. Now the monitor is doing it again regardless of the brightness setting. Game over.-   robertwayne

-   I purchased two MAG LT1919WDb monitors at the same time and ran them side by side on my office computer as dual monitors. I purchased them in March of 2007. Last week (January 2009) one of them went black and is doing the exact same thing as described in this post. I just wanted to add that I tried both DVI and VGA inputs and had the same results. I had the brighness on 70 prior to the issue. I lowered the brightness down to 10 and the monitors seems to be working. I adjusted it up and made it to 43 before it went black again. I backed it off to 40 and it seems to be working. I just did this right now so I have no idea how long this will work. I will try to follow up. I am going to try to get by with this level and put off replacing the monitor as it is a secondary monitor anyway. -   robertwayne

-   My monitor is first generation KOGI 14inches, it is old but rarely used.

Recently the same thing happened. Sometimes the sreen was so dark that the windows was almost invisible and sometimes it may work fora whole day with any problem. But more frequently, down in a few second after turn on.-   Guest

-   I am having the same exact problem. Several days after the warrenty runs out it does the same thing. It goes black after 5 seconds.-   Jeffery1
