my friends monitor broke so he gave it to me and i would really like to fix it it is a lcd dell monitor and as the title describes it turns on, then the picture turns off a second later but the power light stays green i am guessing this is a backlight issue? can anyone confirm if that is most likely the case? if so..how would i go about replacing that? the only thing is that when i hold a light source up to the screen, i can't seem to see a faint picture at all
Could be a number of things. Most likely it's a control board issue, which I wouldn't really know where to find a replacement for other than Dell themselves.
thank you i am trying to find a replacement part but it is very difficult =\ even on the dell site is there any way it could be a power inverter problem?
If it was, the power LED would probably turn off as well when the screen went black. I won't discount it, but I think the monitor itself being at fault is more likely.
