SOURCE: Monitor goes blank less than a second after turning on.
I start my computer and turn it on, and everything looks fine for about 1/4 of a second and then it goes black while leaving the power light green. I can only see the screen again after turning it off and on, but that's only for another 1/4 second. What's up?
I got my rosewill flatscreen as a hand me down from my father. I've had it for several years now. Was working fine until a month ago. When I turn the computer on the screen goes black after 1/4 of a saecond. I have to turn it off and on anywhere from 10 to 20 times before it stays on. I have checked all plugs to the computer and outlets. I have absolutely no idea whats causing this.

Hello David,
This is very common problem and is heat/age related, but It can happen to monitors that are no more than a year old. It is usually bad capacitors on on power inverter board. I just fixed two monitors with this problem. This problem is common across all brands. Look for several radial capacitors in a cluster on the power inverter board. If some are bulging or have a slightly domed top, they are the ones that are bad. I usually replace all the capacitors in this small cluster because some may be marginal. This is easy to do if you have a bit of electronics skill.

14brad, It sure sounds like the "switch-mode-power-supply" has detected a fault with some other circuit or with itself and is going in and out of SHUTDOWN mode to try and save itself from having a nonrecovrable catastrophic failure. A tech will need to evaluate it, or he will buy it from you for $5 US. If he is lucky he will put less than $6 in parts into it and resell it for $40-$60. Go visit YOUTUBE and search and view video clips of LCD monitor disassembly and LCD monitor repair. also try ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm or www.badcaps.net and www.lcdparts.net for more info. Then you will be able to make a decision on what course of action you will want to take be it repair or trade-in for new monitor. If this was good info for you, please rate this response on fixya. 12fixlouie
