LCD monitor, is it dead

[aussie11]

Hi
Have a dell LCD monitor that for no apparent reason just goes off after about 2 hours.

The green power light stays on, but it’s just like the power plug has been pulled, if you switch the monitor off and back on it will work for a minute or so then switches off again.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Try it on a different computer. Also, it might be overheating since you say it turns off after a while.

As Soviet Genius said, it might be overheating. I've also seen monitors do this when they're coming up on their last days. How old is the LCD you're having a problem with?

Check your settings in Control Panel/Power Management...

Hi All

Thanks for the speedy replies.
The monitor has been on 3 computers with same fault, it’s nearly two years old.
I also think it’s a heat problem, have had the back off no dust inside, does it have a psu built in, can it be changed, and is it worth having repaired.

Monitors are not easily repaired. When they are, it's not always cheap either. Check around locally, there might be a place that can fix it, or can tell you where to get it fixed.

Check your settings.  Sometimes if you dont use a pc a while and you leave the monitor on,  it will go blank.  If you dont see a screen saver or anything before it goes off.  You mite have to get a new one.
