My viewsonic monitor goes black after booting up

After booting up my monitor it goes black. i have to turn it off and on quite a number of times in order to get it to stay on then there's no problem until i let it go into sleep mode or hibernation or turn my system off. Sometimes it can take a long time to get it to stay on. Windows xp Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600) board: micro-star international co.

Does it do the same with other PC?
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed VIEWSONIC monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

ViewSonic monitor 171b. I turn and after about 30 sec goes black

The problem could lie in your monitor screen not having enough power. This could lead to total destruction of your monitor as i had this problem before. The best solution: Get a new monitor or get it fixed.
