Screen is very dark, barely visible regardless of input (VGA or DVI). With no video connected you see the cable not connected message, but it is so dark & blurred (like the video is) it cannot be discerned. All LEDs light up when 'button' pressed. Other (Samsung) monitors work fine. Monitor displays same symptoms when I brought it to my office.
The tube lamp is degraded an needs replaced . the high voltage to the lamp might be weak corroded connection too.
consider changing the lamp out for led strip
i ordered 1 ccfl lamp many times from china for 2.50 an they are always damaged . too long for the mail.
i can order the same ccfl lamp from us for 40.
so
im going to insert led strips in place of the lamp.
its not that hard if your a tinker

I have the monitor disassembled. The two lamps appear to be embedded at the top and bottom of the lcd display screen. The cables to them come from the power supply board. All the capacitors on the power board look intact, no bulging, leaking electrolyte. Seems to me that both lamps would have to have failed. This doesn't seem likely.
if the lamps dont come on then the inverter to them is dead , a usual symptom. it supplies a low current high voltage high frequency 1500 or more volts. disconnect each lamp one at a time . or get an old lamp from a broken laptop screen. it has same plug likely.
