...it all comes on but the monitor....

How do you know if the monitor doesn't come on?

[Flame]

Does the power turn on, or does it turn on, and just display a blank screen? Also, do you hear any "beeping"?

[mom420]

because  it doesn't come on  lol  and it just comes up for a sec on the green light of monitor then switches right to standby

[mom420]

no beeps, no nothing

Do you have antivirus protection? Also, is your computer hooked-up to a surge protector? If not, then your monitor might have been fried...

disconnect surge  protecter...........get someone to plug the ......system as it was beforehand...........check all cables/mains plugs/fuse ratings/ before firing it ......and set the system to on ....... monitor>>(buttons/front panel/settings/menu) see manual if not sure !someone may have altered the settings on the monitor>kids>.......also someone with  stickyfingers may have altered the power settings...... do you have kids...!!
