If your LCD monitor displays your desktop fine as it boots up and then goes blank after a few seconds, but you can still faintly see your desktop then this may seem like a brightness issue but it's not. The picture displays very faintly, this is because the LCD backlighting isn't working properly. Which in turn is either because (most likely in cases like this) the inverter circuit has failed or the cold cathode tube has blown. If you're new to the electronics business and are not sure how to solder and connect circuits then this is the job for a qualified repair technician. So i suggest you head on down to your local PC store and have a technician take a look.
If you want to try it youself go
here to order some spares.
If the monitor switches off and you can't see your desktop faintly then this may just be a power saving issue. Yo fix this check out my other tip
here.
If your monitor is less than a year old then I suggest you take it back to where you bought it and have them send it in for repairs or swop it out with a new one. LCD monitors usually have at least a 1 year warranty sometimes it can even be up to 3 years if you register yours when you purchase it or if it's a really expensive screen.
If the monitor is a good 4-5 years old then it may not be worth fixing or may be too expensive. I suggest you invest in a newer widescreen option. LCD monitors have drastically come down in price over the years and you can easily get a wopping 23" for as little as $180.
what computer is this, never in my life heard or Roberts. wow, are you not in USA ,Canada or UK?

Yes I know. I followed a thread to here and posted my question before I realised it was computers! Thanks anyway :-) Yes I guess its a UK brand. Can't do the reset because the settings don't show on the blank screen...
Thank you for trying.
it needs repair, the screen is bad or the power supply to it failed.
you have no parts to fix it or the skills no are parts sold things like this.
unlike PCs it is not modular, making easy repairs.
take it to a shop as the live person there that can touch it an fix it. we can not.
what is it, why not start post and say what it is first. so we don;t have to guess or google for hours.
it is not a PC but can connect. to web.
it is 2009 made, so is great 11 yea r run. (amazing to me)"AS OLD AS this is TRUE"
DAB/FM WiFi Sound System with Internet Radio, Music Player and Last.fm
it is what us Yanks call a BOOM BOX. (CD+sound , am/fm,etc)
when it it fails it needs to be repaired,
I can not do my 50years of on the job electronics skills in a text box ever.
but the PSU or the LCD is dead.
first hit , on trouble. and it.https://www.manualslib.com/manual/147583...
the next page states
100-230 volts AC, 50Hz
(use only supplied adaptor)
so is the power pack dead, or wrong one , using the wrong power pack here is like 9/10 odds wrong.
I label mine to never do that and not blow my radio to H3LL
OMG the jack is marked, 12vdc at 1.2amps, wow , so measure it with any voltmeter.
keep in mine, a power pack or any PSU can fail for
Dead
or WEAK (causing odd effects)
or have tons of noise, on the DC line (bad caps ) in the pack or in the RADIO.
this is tech talk, I can go on for 2 hours doing tests inside too but I flat refuse.
The LCD display needs power to work, if power pack is good first.
we check voltage on the LDC card for DC good power there,
