This could be a bit of dirt in the on/off contact switch. You might try a little contact cleaner spray on the switch if you can get to it. Most monitor failures on older units seem to be power supply related if it isn't a bad connection or dirty switch. Paul C

Hi Dan,

I just wanted to provide an update on my little situation with the 19"
monitor that went out a few months ago.

So after it began working again on another tower, I hooked it up my main
machine again yesterday morning.  So it seems to have began running just
fine since then.  Until tonight anyhow.  After turning on my computer upon
getting home about 5pm, using it for an hour or so, then I shut the monitor
off while watching the debate and a one hour movie.

So tonight I came back to the computer to get a few more things done and
turned the monitor back on.  It stayed on for about a minute then went
black.  Bummer, maybe it is on it's last legs afterall.  Turned power button
off then on, off, on.  Nothing but black screen.

Then I made the all too famous move when all else fails. I gave it a slap.
Ha! Got the picture back. Wild. I guess only time will tell once again if
it will keep working, but just maybe this means I simply have a loose
connection inside.


So Dan, make sure to try giving it a gentle but firm slap, it just might
work.  Now I don't condone violence but mine responded to a hit on the left
side.  If it makes you feel better, you can say your sorry afterwards.

Dave
