Hi I am using a Gateway g6 300 win98 When ever I turn the computer off and back on this monitor will not power up. If I wait 2 weeks and plug it back up it works fine until I power off the computer. Anyone know how to fix this
Sounds like the power ON circuitry for the unit has gone or is going out. When you state you unplug it and wait 2 weeks and plug it back in and works fine, this is direction of allowing the capacitive circuit to completely drain befor the unit is officially "Off". Something is causing the "on" circuits to hold the charge making the unit think it is still "on". By letting it sit and discharge, the circuit "resets" itself. The only real way to figure this out is to take it to a TV repair shop (not much different than a tv) and let them diagnose it. But it maybe worth the time to trouble to just replace it at this point.
