Does a bad power supply look like this?

My Mag LT776s is several years old. The display is is normal for 5 mins or so, then the screen goes black. The power button led goes from green to amber. If I power off and on I get a normal display that shuts down after a minute or two. Hit the off/on switch again and I get a 30 second display before the screen goes black. Would an overheated power supply do this? I hate to shell out $30 for a new power supply and then find out some other chip or board is faulty instead.

Sometimes it looks like all the red is gone from my screen. Everything has a sickly blue and yellow tint. Like when the red picture tube goes bad in an old TV. I have a Mag Innovision 99

Please check both ends of the VGA cable for bent pins, or dirty contacts. Try new VGA cable if you have spare. Also try it with other PC.

Power supply to Mag 780 Model

No, it has a normal, seperate power cord. But the socket in the monitor is very small, it's a small round one. When facing the monitor from the back, it's located directly to the right of the monitor-stand, at the bottom-side of the screen. Just put the monitor on it's side to see it clearly.

It's all explained with pictures in your monitor's manual which you can download from the official website here: http://www.maginnovision.com/Support/Downloads.aspx?sn=464

MAG Innovision LT2219WDB monitor will turn on -picture up clear as ever and 2 seconds screen goes black, turn it on and off screen comes up clear as always and 2 seconds goes black. will not keep the...

I have the same problem with a customer's monitor (LT716S); it turned out to be damaged power supply board. As I understand it, MAG has a 3 year warranty on parts, will probably charge you a flat labor fee plus shipping. If you do not have your purchase documentation for warranty, dump it and replace. If you can, then you may wish to have it repaired.

My customer replaced theirs; I am trying to purchase replacement parts to repair...good luck.

Mag Innovision LT776s Model 780

Sounds like an inverter problem. If the power supply is internal replace the capacitors coming out of the voltage regulators. These are usually 1000mf and/or 470mf. If that doesn't do the trick look up the numbers on the 8-pin chips that drive the secondary transformers on the inverter to see if they are getting the right voltages.
Good Luck!
