Backlight Issue I noticed the lcd would not come on one day so I thought it had fried. I noticed the lcd would come on for less then a second then shut off. When it came on for that short period of time I could see the input from my computer. I took it apart and discovered the lcd worked fine but the backlight did not. All the lights inside will come on but they wont STAY on. Do you know what could be causing this problem?

SOURCE: Monitor comes on, then goes back off, rinse, repeat.

Well here is a test you can do. When the monitor goes black, take a flash light and hold at it a angle towards the monitor, if you can still faintly see the image then you have a blacklight/inverter issue. Another common issue with this is the capacitors on the inside. They will also cause this. If you dont see an image then the inverter will need replacing. As the steps for replacing all of this are quite long, ill post a few helpful tuts :).

I know these arent your monitor but its generally the same idea with all of them. If this doesnt work it will be a inverter issue and if it comes to that just let me know and ill be glad to help :D
