Yes, but at the price of a new monitor if you can even get one now since they are limited production runs.

Well, it is hard to find new 15" LCD monitors these day, new one are so cheap (and cheaply made also), it can be a good learnibg experience for some one who is learning electronics to try to fix it.

If you can provide me the pictures of the boards then I can guide you more. Do you get any 5 and 12vdc on the caps?

Problem on power supply.Change or repair it.

15? not likely.
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed HP monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

darladon2, 12fixlouie here. Your old 1530 may need some repair work done on it's ac to dc power supply / inverter board. to bring it back to life. It's thin fluorescent lamps (cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps (ccfl's)) are not staying "lit"!!! You will find out all you need to know, and more, if you do some reading of the fixya profiles of "budmrtn" or "buddymc" or my "12fixlouie" and follow links you find there. Also visit YOUTUBE for video clips of technicians doing cheap do-it-yourself repairs that actually work!. 12fixlouie

It means your PC video resolution setting is too high for this monitor to display.
You need to set the resolution to 1024 x 768 @60Hz. Bootup in safe mode (hit f8 during bootup) select VGA support, rest the resolution to 1024 x 768 @60Hz, reboot.

Replace the 2 1Uf capacitors on the power supply board. They are at the edge between the 2 lamp plugs.

It solved by fixing 1024X786 pixel solution.if it not possible by fixing it..
Then look over the VGA driver is correctly support or not
if not then you have to update the VGA (Display) by drivers

hello
is HDD light is blinking on Computer when it is working ? if so , computer is working and you are having video card issue or something wrong with the monitor.

It can mean that the monitor is not receiving the signal from PC, or the fault can be in the monitor itself. Try the monitor on the other PC to see if it does the same, then post back so we can guide you further.

has to do with power i can get myin to stay some times but then the same thing hapens to me u have to buy a new power board wich is esy to replace and i have had min as a second screen for like 4 or 5 years now with no probloms so its just from over use..

you must make sure that the VGA cable to the computer is properly fitted to the sys unit. if problem persist pls add a VGA card to your sys unit to solve your problem rate solution Afterwards

You did not mention your operating system. Assuming Windows, right click an empty area of your desktop. Choose "Properties" > Appearance Tab. Set up a color scheme that you like.

Throw it away, it's not repairable.

Replace one or two 1000uf electrolytic capacitors in the power supply.

You either have a faulty signal or the correct input is not selected on the monitor.Note the source has to give it input for that signal to go away.If the pc is on and it display that message the video card is bad.Try the monitor on another source.
good luck

On the monitor, press the [Menu] button.
Maybe more than once.
or.. unplug the monitor from the power outlet and plug back in.
