Ok,

I have this monitor, made by Dell. What happens is when I plug it into a computer and start it up, it looks like it is going to start, by changing from an off screen to a black screen. Then the power LED just blinks. I know it is not the computer because i'm currently using that computer on a different monitor. There is no warranty left. Does anybody have any suggestions????. Thanks.

The power LED on what?

the monitor....Also when you let it sit, you can see the screen like flash really quickly. That happens everytime the the power LED blinks. I opened it up to see if there might be a loose connection or something had fallen off, but everything looked to be in good condition.

I know this is basic but make sure to check your wires this happens alot when your in a hurry also make sure the settings are right for the monitor try adjusting the monitor settings them selves. Last check the video card whether its onboard or custom sometimes the monitor looks for more than the card can support.

Ok...I know that it has nothing to with the video card, i double checked the cords, and I can't even get into the monitor settings to change anything, i know has something to do with the monitor itself.

have you tried the monitor on a diffrent pc I hate to say it but the monitor may be bad

ha ha ....i know that the monitor is Bad.....thats what i mean...I want to know how to fix it....like the guts of the actual monitor

LCD monitors aren't worth trying to fix in most cases, it's just not cost effective, and CRT monitors are a dime a dozen.

actually in this case it is....I figured it out and i would like to let other people know how i did it. So it turned out that it was a simple fuse problem. I just changed the fuse and it works fine..If you would like more information.....here is the website HERE

Congratulations, the power supply is about the only thing worth checking on those, after that it usually isn't cost effective to pursue them.

The question you need to start thinking about now is why did the fuse blow?
