Hopefully it is not lamp assemblies as shown in my albums (both VS17 and VS19 have bad lamp assemblies problem due to poor soldering works) Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, blown fuses, 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 HP 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague http://www.badcaps.net

Something seems to be triggering it to restart, these are some of the things you can try. Make sure your video cable and power cord are secure on both ends. If you have video card make sure it is secure in its socket. Try plugging the power cord into a different outlet. Try it on another computer if possible. If you find nothing with these ideas I would send it back if it is under warranty the power supply seems to be dropping out.
You may have to inspect the inside of the monitor. You may have to dry it out from the inside and look for burned component which may be caused by a short due to the moisture.
Here is a link of how to fix your monitor. I had the same problem, and found this link, followed the instructions and it cost me $5.13
to fix my HP vs19 LCD monitor, and its still working great.
A blinking blue light indiactes that your power-inverter board is not
putting out what it should. It needs an overhaul which may be a simple
as changing out the capacitors on the boards.
It could go beyong that to transistors or even a bad bulb.
It will have to be opened up to do that.
A picture may show visual signs of damage. If you can take one and email it to me , I'll take a look.

Here's a solution I came up with: I had the same problem with a monitor at my office, just a little over a year old. I didn't want to trash it so I thought at least I'll pull it apart and see what's inside :).
I opened the case (which I *delicately* used a screwdriver to pry open inch by inch) Then I located the power board (which is where the power cord plug goes in from the outside). I removed this from the chassis and inspected. First I read some other online posts where I guy said to look for swollen radial capacitors as a possible cause. Well every darn one is swollen, that's the way they're supposed to be (as I've since been told by the pros at my local circuitry store). So, I was first sidetracked by this suggestion, and after getting past that and looking closer I noticed that in one corner of the power board, there are three "cylindrical" capacitors about 3/4" high with an "X" etched in the metal top (the sides are wrapped in a black or green or blue plastic). I did notice that the metal tops of these (where the X is) was swollen whereas it was flat on other cylindrical capacitors on the board, plus there was something brown oozing out of the top.
I took it to my local electronic circuitry store in Rancho Cucamonga CA and for about $4.95 bought 3 new capacitors, the guy at the store was kind enough to offer to install them for me no charge, in 20 minutes they were in place. I bought him a 6 pack :)
I took it home and with crossed fingers plugged it in. It powered right up, and I am writing to you now from that monitor, 3 months later :)
It's worth a try, but if you aren't confident enough and are thinking to trash it, don't throw it away, send me a message I'll pay for you to ship it to me. :)
