My LCD monitor (x2gen) went into sleep mode and won't come out. At first the power light wouldn't even stay on. I would switch it off...turn it on... it would stay blue for a couple of seconds, then go amber (screen would be black). Now when I turn it on it goes blue, then after a couple of seconds the screen flashes "entering sleep mode" then the light goes to amber.
Any ideas?
I think it maybe time to buy a new monitor

The monitor costs about 100 bucks. The company is bankrupt. Chuck it and buy another.

The monitor is on protection.
Test:
If it is monitor fault , then the monitor is on protection.
When on protection you keep having a flashing
led on front of the monitor , and monitor turning off by itself after a while,
that indicates a fault condition.
The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the Monitor goes on protection there are only two possible causes.
1The
internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic
charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read
by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the
protection circuit.
2 The protection circuit detected a wrong
voltage or a broken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in
, starting the flashing light.
If
you are in situation one, then the monitor will reset just unplugging
power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.
If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.
Common
faults
that can occur are a blown capacitor on power board, faulty inverter
board, faulty input board, or a fault on LCD Digital Controller board.
Check also
the video cable or any external connection cable, if the cable is shorting, or the connector is bad, you
can get same flashing state because of the video cable.
Try moving the video cable, and if the cable is not built in, then also try a replacement cable.
If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual
If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

The only solution I have found to work until next time you shut down or reboot is to open the menu, go to Tool Icon and press and hold Reset button for a few seconds. You may have to do this several times before it "takes". Sometimes you may have to press Auto and Reset simultaneously. It is probably not due to your computer, or cables, or connection, video adapter, or board.
