I just have a TESTING.... box floating on the screen. Even the menu buttons display nothing. Has this beast finally bit the dust?
Possible reasons for that may be bad cable connection, burnt videocard, or problem in the signal board in the monitor.
So, first check with another monitor if your PC is actually giving a singnal. Then look both ends of the cable for bend pins. They can be easily strighten with thin plyers. You can replace the cable VGA (or DVI) cable to see if it will fix the problem.
If your videocard is OK and the cable is OK, then try to open the monitor. Replace the capacitors on the signal board. Look for blown capacitors on the power board too. Replace if any.
If this cant help, there is major problem with the signal board of the monitor and more measuring is needed. There are buffer elements between the connector and the signal processor and some of them may be faulty. If there are no buffers and the signal goes directly to the processor, entire board should be replaced.
If there are VGA and DVI inputs, you may try the other input with the relevant cable.
