For the past 2 years, my monitor (Hitachi CML174SXW B) will just randomly goes black, but the green light is still on, and the only way I can get a picture to come back is to turn the monitor off, then back on.
When I first turn the monitor on in the morning, it comes on then after a few seconds it goes black, I will have to turn it off then on several times to get it to stay on, and several times throughout the day it will just go black and I will have to turn it off then on to get a picture. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. Other than that its a great monitor. I would appreciate any help for this problem.
Have you noticed if the monitor gets hot before it turns off?
Please, don't open a monitor and try to repair it yourself. It can be very dangerous and it's not worth getting injured.

My solution was to buy a new monitor. It lasted a reasonable lifespan.
Same issue, the condition has deteriorated to the point where it only stays on for seconds after I toggle the power or not at all. I've had the monitor for at least 5 years and I think I paid about $500 - I expected better than $100/yr =^(
