Only the Planar Dome DX2 card..... no other. Planar did this on purpose to sell those cards at 2k each. Now very reasonably priced on eBay, but they'll only work on XP, not W7.

this is a common problem with the capacitor, try opening your monitor and see if there is a capacitor swalow like gonna blow... the capacitor has a form like a AA battery... if changing the capacitor the problem persist maybe is a problem with the board and you need to search if the board have continous power....

I would suspect either the power suuply or inverter circuits, look for bad caps first which is common problem, see example of failed monitors due to bad caps: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

Your monitor has 3 years warranty, I would find out if you can get the replacement before opening up the case.

Make sure you video cable from the computer is seated in correctly.

plug the screen into another pc, laptop, whatever you can find. if it still does it its the screen, if not its your video. could be a power cord, but usually not. if cheap it may be worth a gamble.

This could be one of two problems, the light in your monitor has a loose cable, or the light is dying. I have seen cold cathode lights that are about 10-15$ to buy and many instructions on putting them in yourself.

Solution 2, your cable is loose on the back of the monitor. Make sure you have the screws tightened on either side of the vga or dvi cable, both on the back of your monitor and on the back of your computer or laptop.

iv come across this before sometimes people can see that the monitor is actually working but the light has gone out id say bad capacitors that are breaking down. if you want to DIY it take it apart and find the light pcb usually built on the power supply pcb and look for bulging or swolen capacitors this happens alot in my opinion. if you can DIY it get the same caps or same value but better ones. I might be wrong but worth a look
