Monitor Problem

jljones21 · 10-17-2005, 10:19 AM

I have a MAG LCD monitor that is about 2 years old on my PC at home The power light indicates the monitor is on but the screen is dark. When I turn it off and on again the monitor come on for about 3 to 5 seconds and goes black again. I have rebooted with no good result. Any Ideas??

do you get anything in safe mode

No, while booting up in safe mode I get a quick flicker and still the black screen. When I hold a bright light to the screen I can just barely see the graphics. That is what is leading me to being a an lcd problem. I assume it is not the bulb because of the short limited time the screen is visable.
