My fujitsu monitor seems dead. No power light but power at end of cable. Have tried monitor on another PC as well but no power light.
Is there an internal fuse and if so how do I open the monitor to access the electronics? Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks

Acknowledging ’s report and ’s safety reminder, here are practical, safe steps and realistic options that weren’t covered yet.

Start with a simple diagnostic checklist: confirm the wall outlet and try a different power lead or adapter if the monitor uses one; measure the adapter output with a multimeter before touching the monitor; check for an accessible glass or ceramic fuse near the AC inlet (many sets have one) and test it for continuity. If the unit has an internal supply, a dead standby/LED often points to the power board rather than the LCD panel itself.

If proceeding to open the case, follow safe work practices: unplug, work on a nonconductive surface, take photos of every connector and cable, remove the stand screws first, then the visible rear screws (some are hidden under rubber feet or stickers). Pry seams gently to avoid breaking plastic clips. Be cautious around inverter circuitry and the power board—large electrolytic capacitors can retain charge and there are mains-voltage components present. Look for obvious faults: swollen or leaking capacitors, burnt resistors, or a blown fuse on the board. Replacing a faulty power/inverter board is commonly feasible and often cheaper than a whole new screen, but only attempt soldering if experienced.

If unsure or uncomfortable with mains voltages, a local electronics repair shop can do a safe diagnosis and give a parts-vs-replace cost. For disposal, use an electronics recycling facility or municipal e-waste program rather than general rubbish.

Hi,

Do NOT open the monitor! Monitors these days contain small amounts of Mercury, which if it comes in contact with your skin, well it's not pretty.

If the monitor is dead there is nothing you can do, unless it's under warranty.
I strongly suggest purchasing a new monitor.

Thank you. I just needed confirmation that there was no simple solution. I will follow your advice and take it to the tip so it can be disposed of safely.
