Sounds like your inverter is going out. It is pretty cheap to replace if it is modular, ie. if it is a seperate plug in pc board. I parted out a 19 LCD because the inverter was integral with the power board and was not economically practical for me to repair when new ones are 169.00. also look a the capacitors (look like little cans with crosses on top) on the pc board. If any have bulged or blown their tops, you can try to replace them at about .50c a piece and a slodering iron. Just get the correct value, voltage (higher is OK) and temp rating (higher is OK too, but they are probably 135C anyway)

I have the exact same problem as the original poster. I've tried so many things to get it to stay on, and I think I have found a solution (at least until I can afford a new monitor). If you know which f-ENGINE setting you use, hit the f-ENGINE button once to bring up the selection screen (even though you can't see it) and navigate with +/- to the Normal setting and hit AUTOSET. I used to use the Movie setting on the far left, so I just hit - (minus) once to get to Normal. If I try to use any other setting, even User, it goes black again until I change it back to Normal mode.
I have a similar problem with my L1932tq Flatron Monitor. I'll be puttering right along when suddenly the screen will go to black, and I'll see the [Analog Power Saving Mode] message. No banging of keys will bring my screen back to life. I have to re-boot. I can go for days between incidences or there are times (like today) I've had to re-boot several times just to research this problem. Now and then it will go into power saveing mode even before boot up is complete. I have the monitor set to never go into power saving mode in windowsso that is not the problem. This Monitor is only two years old.
