Monitor turns on then goes off

Periods.......Nice little items because they denote the End of a sentence.
See how this works?

"I have a vgn cs36gj, I was working with it, suddenly the LCD became pale black, I connected it to external monitor and it has a picture, sometimes after turning on for 30 minutes LCD start working normally, but after turning off and disconnecting power when I turn it on, it only shows a pale black picture, you know it is on but only black!"

Now you try it.........

"I have a vgn cs36gj. I was working with it, suddenly the LCD became pale black.
I connected it to external monitor and it has a picture."

Okay, I got that part.........

"sometimes after turning on for 30 minutes LCD start working normally, but after turning off and disconnecting power when I turn it on, it only shows a pale black picture, you know it is on but only black!"

WHICH LCD?
Laptop LCD?
External monitor LCD?
Man on the moon LCD?

1) If the external monitor LCD goes 'pale black', the problem is the graphics chipset.
This I do not believe

2) If the laptop LCD goes pale black, this I believe.

It doesnt sound like a windows problem. A simple test for this is to unplug the vga or hdmi cable from the monitor then turn it on if it has power it should say no signal. Also try either another power cable to the monitor or change the fuse. Hope this helps.

This happens when there is no communication with video card. Check cables, re-seat video card, make sure monitor is set to correct mode. VGA (15pin blue), DVI (white), or HDMI.

On most Dell monitors there is a built in diagnostic check. Disconnect the VGA or DVI monitor cable from the computer and power on the monitor. If you see floating color bars then the monitor is not the problem.

Are u sure there is power running to your computer? You probably have a bad power supply...

check power options in control panel...........
check monitor turn off is set on NEVER...........
cheers

Try to disconnect the monitor and check if the message to connect the cable stays on the screen. I will need more description to solve this. Like Is the monitor's power ON and the display goes off? Is it that the display goes off after windows booting process starts?

Same problem - unplug both computer and monitor - hold power button for monitor for 15-30 seconds...then power it back on and then power on the computer. Seems from other sites there is a power issue with the monitor - this worked for me.

Hi! Trish,

It's seems your Acer monitor backlight inverter are burnt out. Need to replaced a new inverter. Since is a company monitor asked your boss to get you a new one.;) Hehehe...

It seems to be an Inverter related problem in which backlight seems to be shiutting down.Is this monitor 3-4 years old???If so backlight of the panel could be an issue.
