Solved: Monitor goes blank

Chubby_Toad · 23-Jul-2009, 04:48 PM #1

My PC is running fine, but my LCD Monitor goes blank immediately after turning it on. I first noticed this when my PC would go to sleep and upon waking up, the monitor was still blank. If I cycle the power button on the monitor, i get about one second of perfect display and then it goes blank. I can repeat this many times over and over with the same results. It used to start working fine if I cycled it a few times, but now it doesnt matter how many times I cycle the monitor, it just keeps going blank.

Try in Safe mode....How old is the monitor....and do you have another monitor to try?

How to Start in Safemode

1. Restart your computer.
2. Before the windows logo you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu.
3. Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.
5. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode..

If the other monitor works in Safe Mode which I dought it will......then let us know....my guess is the monitor is faulty

same problem with safe mode. i tried it on two different desktops. what would cause this? ive heard that it may be the backlight inverter and some soldering can fix this.

It could be the Inverter (backlight).....but it is just as cheap tp get another monitor

if i wanted to try and re-solder the coils, where would i find the inverter board? ive got the monitor open and the screen out. I see a large board and small board attached the housing and a thin board across the top rear of the screen.
