Turns off after ONE second

The monitor goes to power save because no signal is coming from the computer - this means that the computer was fried by the power surge that caused the outage. To find out what was fried inside the computer you must open it and test its components one at a time, starting with the power source - time to take it to someone that has other parts to test it, or to an repair shop.

Get in the habbit of turning off LCD monitors when not in use. First, save electric. Second, save your monitor as LCD will burn up faster than a CRT. As for your problem, I would assume it's burning out and/or about to burn out...overheating. I would shut the entire system down, let is sit for 5 minutes and reboot everything. If it still fails to strike properly, it is probably toast.

Yes. Do not turn the monitor off by its power switch, let the computer do the work for you. Alot of times when people use the power switch to turn off the monitor, the computer sees that all of a sudden the monitor has been disconnected from the pc. when that happens the pc sees it as a device beimg unplugged and removes that certain device from the pc's list of things that should be connected, and when you turn it back on the pc sees it again and starts loading drivers for that new part(monitor)

Replace it.  It would probably cost more to get it repaired.

Try taking on the back of the monitor and pulling the power plug all the way out of it for about five minutes and then plug it back in and restart the computer see if it solved it thanks

This model has poor solder connections on the coils in the power supply.

check your system unit to make sure the problem is not from the system unit

the signal stage and cable is more likely to have faults contact a local technician for confirmation

Similar monitor, similar problem. I actually had to dismantle the thing and replace a transistor on the mainboard.

If you're not into soldering and such, good luck.
