Monitor display goes out when turned on after 1 second

Have a 997M that has developed an inability for the screen to stay on even though the green power light is on. Pressing the on/off switch repeatedly for ten minutes until it stays on is beyond acceptable. When finally on, if the computer is not used for about 40 minutes it will go out again and the process is repeated. Is the monitor toast? I hate to buy a replacement for such a quirky thing. Any quick fix? What could the problem be? THANKS for any assistance.

SOURCE: My microtek flat screen monitor goes black every 5

I assume that you have already try it on another PC with the same result.
Most common failure in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what goes wrong: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further.

Screen Goes Blank

Ive seen this on other monitors. Look for a 1 and 2. Some monitors do NOT auto detect a signal, and this one might not. Look for a way to set the monitor from Digital input to VGA input. Try that and see.

It sounds to me that the monitors power supply is dying. I would replace it with a different monitor as soon as possible. I would consider this a dangerous situation, and a possible fire hazard.

Thanks for using FixYa,

Microtek 997M monitor doesn't stay on...

The inverter is the most common item to fail on a LCd monitor. Capacitors usally fail the most. Are the tops of any of them popped up. If you had any shorted transistors the fuse would probably be blown. Usally labeled F1. I would replace all the capacitors first and go from there. Capacitors are cheap.
