JessicaJoy Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Ok so here is the deal-o .. Yesterday, my screen was working fine ..I had both of the screens working great ..I shut the computer down for the night ..went to bed. Turned it on in the morning ..and my main screen (the flat screen not the CRT) Wouldn't turn on ..the light on the front just kept flashing blue ..nothing. I have tried several things ..I unplugged the screen from the tower and the wall ..re plugged it back in ..restarted my computer ..took out the graphics card, reinstalled the graphics card and NOTHING .. My graphic card ports work because I switched the CRT screen to the main port and back ..still works ..the card recognized that it is there ..but nothing on the screen works ..the button to turn it on and off KEEPS FLASHING! The screen is black and I can't figure it out ... Is there ANYTHING else I can do to try to fix this OR is the screen ca-put. PLEASE HELP!

Spindrift Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 My monitor had the same problem maybe two years back. I couldn't fix it...had to buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyHorse One-Eight Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Got no Idea, all I can say is plug the electric cable from the monitor out for a day and try the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Get a flashlight and put it at an angle going down and see if you can see anything. Your back light inverter might be blown. It can be repaired ($10-$15 for a new inverter not including repair costs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I can get the other screen working ..then I can retire my CRT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cefdinir Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) You might have accidentally changed the input setting on your LCD? It's the button that has this logo next to it. You may have several inputs so keep pressing the button and wait 5-10 seconds each time to make sure you completely cycle through them.

Except the screen is black and I can't see anything on it ..I'm not at home right now ..I will take a look again when I get home from work tomorrow.

Well it will be a physical button on your monitor. If it isn't on the right input it will go in sleep mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
