Try the monitor on another comp.

[p3t3r_m]

ty for the quick reply but i have done that it still just goes of after a second or 2 of being on so

[MattZani]

Buy a new monitor?

TFT's really arent worth fixing for the hassle.

and tft's are very dangerous. So yea I would not open it up unless you are not worried about getting electrocuted.

[H-Sauce]

silly, the words electroconacuted

but srsly, if you want an extrem case of the bug zapper syndrome, i would leave it alone and by a new one.

Have u tried to hold up a flashlight against the screen? As H-Sauce said, its pretty dangerous, but if u see stuff with when flashlight is held up against it, that only means that the CCFL lights are dead and can be replaced for about 20-30$ depending on the most reputable site you go to.

[DubbleDutch]

return it if u still have warranty

Why are these monitors so dangerous to take apart? Is this a crappy brand I have never even heard of it.

[MattZani]

The Capacitors can store a lethal amount of electricity.

[ProperBritish]

indeed. the exact same reason that you should never take apart a PSU either.

also add that they have lead in them.

What model is it?

t turns on for a couple of seconds then just turns its self onto standby.

does the standby light turn on? (ex green to orange)

and tft's are very dangerous. So yea I would not open it up unless you are not worried about getting electrocuted.

You can only get electrocuted if your taking the monitor apart and it is still plugged in. Wait 5 minutes before taking apart a monitor. (I got zapped before)
