Can you get a little more specific in your question. Explain the problem in more detail.
Also list the specs of you current system.
This will help you get better help.

Ok I am going to assume that your monitor just went blank.

Hopefully you have checked the mains cable to the monitor and it is plugged in both at the monitor and at the wall outlet.

If it is connected to your graphics output on your pc, you should see a small led on the front illuminated, probably orange if it is standby or green if on fully. If you do not see a led illuminated, recheck your power connection.

If all is good there and you do not see anything at all on screen, chances are that you have a dead monitor.

If you see the words "No Signal" or something similar, then you have a graphics device issue.

Please don't be tempted to open the back of the monitor as there are Capacitors that retain VVHigh voltages even when the monitor has been off for a while.

That looks to be quite an old monitor, so I wouldn't be suprised if it has gone to monitor heaven.


Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply.

The monitor went blank and nothing that I did by then sent any sign of anything to the screen. Just dead.

I thought some member would know about monitors and give me some kind of advice how to fix it.

Thank you for your kind attention anyway.

I know with the old CRT monitors.

If there is a short with the CRT. (Occasionally, small conductive flakes or whiskers present since the day of manufacture manage to make their way into a location where they short out adjacent elements in the CRT electron guns).

To fix this... you can place the CRT face down on a soft blanket and gently tap the neck to dislodge the contamination. Depending on the location of the short, one side or the other might be better as well.



Otherwise... replacing it would be the option to go with.
