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.

The backlight fluorescent bulb is burned out.

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.

I am having the same problem. It comes on for about 3 sec then turns itself off. Green light stays on but no picture. I unplug and replug same deal.
Microtek 997m
green power light blinks with blank screen. powering off then on only brings screen to life for a second or two.
What gives?
I have the same problem. It just started doing this.
