If the adapter goes out its most likely the adapter. Check the voltage on the adapter and try and match one up on the internet as the one you order from the company will most likely cost 10x more. You need to know the output voltage and amps.

Try connecting another "known-good" monitor to your computer.
If it does not work, it's the video-card on your computer that is the problem.

Try connecting the monitor to the VGA-port on a laptop, or to some other desktop. If it does not work, and if it's under warranty, exercise the warranty. Otherwise, it's dead, and you need to buy a replacement, and responsibly recycle the dead monitor.

Try these things.

1) As much as I hate to say it, most of the time devices that aren't turning on are not plugged in. If the device is unplugged, plug it in. (Sorry)

2) Check the outlet. Plug in something that you know works into the same outlet. If it does not power on, check that there are no flipped breakers in your breaker box.

3) Some outlets/breakers have a red Reset Button on them that needs to be pressed to reset the amount of charge in the outlet.

Hope some of those helped.

no
it is about eeprom mistake

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.

Okay.... If you can. install your drive. It may work. If not then your Hardware in your monitor is screwed. Or maybe something else but not to my knowledge.
good luck!

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.

Get the manual. They are picky, it might require the shutter to be wound or something like that.

Yes, if your monitor has built in speakers, you will still need a cable running from your computer to your monitor.

That's a medical monitor; supposedly timings up to 200 hz (programmable). Here's a link to a spec sheet: http://www.lcdpanels.com/part_pics/A57-C5IGRAY-00.pdf.
All I did was google "DOME C5i"; got lots of info.

while booting pc keep pressing F8 key, than select VGA mode in menu shown

It is quite possible, that the monitor plug in the back of the computer isn't seated properly. If the cord can be detached from the back of the monitor, check thet too. Look for pins that aren't straight too. This will prevent it from working properly.
If the cord is tight at both ends, you have a loose connection inside the PC itself. Look for ANY loose jumpers or wires on the boards.

reboot your system again..and for more info contact http://tinyurl.com/m7ghqz

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

The display is in safe mode and you will need to reset the display to get the display out of the safe mode. There are 2 different model revisions. Please choose the method that will match your revision. Depending on the revision of the monitor, one of the following 2 methods should reset it to a normal state. This reset generally requires both hands and it is sometimes easier with another person.

If the serial number begins with an A and/or your power button on the far right (5th button from left):
Method #1
1. Unplug the VGA cable.
2. Remove the power cable from the back of the monitor.
3. Counting the buttons on the front of the panel from left to right as 1 – 5, hold the buttons 2 and 3 down at the same time (see picture above) and while continuing to hold the buttons, plug the power cable back in.
4. Keep holding the buttons for 5 seconds after the power has been plugged in and then let go. The green light should be steady when you release the buttons.
5. If the procedure worked, the green light will go to amber and you should see a "No Signal" message on the screen for a few seconds.
Method #2
1. Unplug the VGA cable.
2. Remove the power cable from the back of the monitor.
3. Counting the buttons on the front of the panel from left to right as 1 – 5, hold the buttons 2 and 3 down at the same time (see picture above) and while continuing to hold the buttons, plug the power cable back in.
4. Keep holding the buttons until the 4th green LED blink; then, let go. The green light should be steady when you release the buttons.
5. If the procedure worked, the green light will go to amber and you should see a "No Signal" message on the screen for a few seconds.


If the serial number begins with a B and/or your power button is in the middle (3rd button from left):
Method #1
1. Unplug the VGA cable.
2. Remove the power cable from the back of the monitor.
3. Counting the buttons on the front of the panel from left to right as 1 – 5, hold the buttons 2 and 4 down at the same time (see attached picture) and while continuing to hold the buttons, plug the power cable back in.4. Keep holding the buttons for 5 seconds after the power has been plugged in and then let go. The green light should be steady when you release the buttons.
5. If the procedure worked, the green light will go to amber and you should see a "No Signal" message on the screen for a few seconds.

If you have tried the reset a few times and it does not solve your issue, please Ask a Question to submit a request through the system or call 1-866-752-6271 Option 1 to contact technical support.

The inverter in the monitor is probably going bad. It can be replaced, depending on the size/age of the monitor. Many times it is cheaper to buy a new one than to have it fixed.

If you are a little handy, and can get the monitor open, you can find the inverter and replace it. The monitors have a high voltage area you have to be very careful around.

New inverters range from $30-75. They are very specific to the model of monitor. The best way to find one is to get to the inverter and search for the numbers printed on it.

A repair might cost you $100+

The monitor is in safe-mode. Go to www.planar.com, onsite support, for the resolution. The direct URL is:

Take it back to the dealer from which you purchased, receipt in hand and raise a stink.

When you removed the MB battery,did you find the shorting linkJumper  and short it out(move it) to discharge the capacitors, before reinstalling the battery?
