It will need the VGA cable (3-row/15-pin D-SUB), you need to look at your laptop monitor port to see what you have for the output.

And you will need to set the laptop video signal to be at the native resolution of this monitor, which is 1280 x 1024 @60Hz.

Diagram will be hard to get, but you should do the visual inpsection of the DC filter caps in the power supply which are very common problems with all LCD monitors.<br /> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><a href="http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums">http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums</a></span><br /> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.</span><br /> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague</a><span style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </span></span><br /> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Capacitors kit: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><a href="http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/">http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/</a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>he can make you a set of caps for you.</span><br />

Check the power supply main fuse and the DC output voltages.
If you are going to DIY and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on:
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps).

Please take the computer to another socket (mains) and try it without the computer (cpu). I hope you press the power button properly. Could be the problem with the socket or with the plugs on the socket. Move monitors' power button need to keep pressed for few seconds and then release when you see the light on it.

If you have no idea how to unplug the cable (display) from the monitor to the computer, let me give you some hints, there should be two insulated (covered) screws on either side of the cable at the point where it's connected to the back of the computer cpu. Turn the (turn the screw toward left to release and right to fit) screw handle with you hand and you'll be able to pull it out.

Make sure the power cable is properly fitted and power is coming through it.

Let's me know if this doesn't help.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

You may have failing caps in the power supply, that will be the first thing to check, also verify htat you do have 5vdc for logic bd and 12~18vdc for inverter bd.

Check to see if the image is Dimmed. Chances are the power supply on the FPD is either dead or not supplying power to the back lights.

It sounds more like a monitor hardware problem than anything else being wrong, but the definitive answer would be to try it on another PC.

If it does the same you know it's the monitor; if not investigate your PC.

It seems so.

1. Change the monitor cable and see if this still happens

2. Attach this monitor to another PC and see if this still happens

If it is still happening, then yes, it seems that it is failing.

check if the signal cable has been plugged in properly at the back of the screen and at the back of the computer.

if you have another computer or laptop,.check if the screen works fine with it.as this could even be a boot up problem with the computer

Use screen adjustment to lighten, if you have done that try it with another PC,

If that works either your vid card (If you have one) or the mobo drivers need updating.

What is the display resolution you have set in your display properties? For this monitor it should be set to 1280x1024 pixels, which should give you proper screen geometry.

Try to wiggle the cable and see if it goes away. Seems like a loose connection somewhere. Try to factory reset the monitor from the menu.

Do you have a yellow light on it?
Is this a monitor that has a power adapter to run it? If so, check the voltage coming to the monitor. If the voltage is low or there is no power, then you have found the problem.
If the voltage is correct and if you can get video by attaching a different monitor, then your monitor is bad.

Hello

On/off switches do go bad. The "No Signal" is more likely caused by a loose cable, cable or electronic failure. Generally the refusal to turn on or slow turn on is caused by capacitors on the power supply board which have changed value. Take it to a local repair person or see my website: www.micromendllc.com

Good Luck

The power supply/a capactiro in the monitor may have blown. If either of those are the case then you'd be better off buying a new one. Try a different outlet and if that doesn't work then the monitor is probably toast.

Either a bad video card or cable. Wiggle the cable at the connection points. I would think video card. If it's internal, and you are sure it's a bad internal video, a cheap video card can be a quick check. See if a tech friend has a standard PCI video card to borrow. Let someone knowledgeable install it. Must set BIOS to run video from card installed.
