No power to monitor

My pc was on and working fine when the monitor just turned off. I checked the power cable and the plug fuse had blown. I replaced the power cable but now the monitor won't turn on. There is no light. Nothing. Any ideas on what has gone wrong and what i need to fix/replace? Thanks

Sounds like one problem: A failed monitor. For sure, try another monitor on the PC first, in order to rule it out (hopefully!) So... your otherwise standard-looking power cable has a fuse in its plug and that fuse was blown? Then you put a standard power cord on the monitor but it was still dead? If this is the case, then the monitor needs component-level troubleshooting, probably in the power supply section.

Your problem is really multiple problems. One is if the monitor blew out, the second is weather it damaged the computer when it went, the third is if the computer went first killin the monitor. I would first see if your computer is ok by turning it on with out any monitor connected and listen to hear if it sounds as usual. If not something may be wrong with your computer. If everything is ok plug in another monitor (borrow from a freind if you do not have a spare) and see that the computer is ok. If it's ok great but if there is a problem with the computer that is a whole new question.Next if the monitor's on light does not come on and you know it has power the monitor is most likely fried. Hope this helps and could use more details

When i turn on the monitor it displays fine, about 1 sec. later it just turns black but the power is still on.

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 (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, 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 DELL monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

Try it with another PC to make sure is is not the PC video card problem, also chek the cable. If it still does not work, then you will have to open it up.

I have an averatec D1002UHCE-1 and for no reason the screen is not turning on. LEDs and Fans turn on but the screen does not show anything. What can i do?

Clarification - I have the same problem. Keep in mind that this is an All-in-one. There is no cable from PC to monitor. PC is built into the monitor. I suspect that the motherboard needs to be replaced, since even if it is the graphics adapter, it's on the motherboard...

My computer is not working

First check fuse at the plug, if cable powers say your monitor the cable and fuse are fine.
Get hold of another power supply and try to power up the computer using the new one, if still ded its your motherboard and youll need to replace it.

Dell E197FP LCD Monitor won't turn on completely dead

could be dead, but check to ensure that you are using the monitor ONLY, not TV tuner device. as a standalone, not hooked to cpu if there is no power light when plugged in assume your buying a new monitor.

Monitor no signal

Check to see if there is more than one 15-pin monitor connection on the back of your computer. If there is, try plugging the video cable into the other one.

Is this a new monitor? Was it working before this? Does your computer sound like it is starting up normally?

monitor does not stay on my monitor is a MAG(INNDIVISION) it goes off every two seconds. I can see the ghost of the screen in the backround but can't read it.I have to keep turning the button on the monitor on and off to get picture every few seconds. At start menu for turn off computer it used to say re-start, turn off pc, stand by. One day it said hybernate. never saw that before, My husband may have used that thinking it was stand by. I think it may have some thing to do with a back light or front light situation. As I am writing you, I have to keep turning it on and off to see what I wrote. But I can use it and it works but I can't see anything. How do I get to a control panel for monitor to fix the off and on time , or back and front light for monitor to stay on all the time. or is it just a garbage monitor even though it is only a few months old and I lost the receipt. The steps I took were I went to system restor and went back to as far as it would go 10-6-2007. I went to control panel to try to find monitor settings do not know where to look. my e-mail address is [email protected] 734-428-4289 or 734-972-4057 Please help me if you can Thank you Barbara Parks
