OT? LCD monitor dead OT?

Green power light or not, first try hooking it to another system.

When my DELL 21" failed, I wrote to DELL. They replaced it under warranty.

What make / model ?? Does it not have any front or side panel setup/test buttons ??

Absolutely! The green light can also go on if the video signal is out of range so there is a possibility the problem is with the computer and not the monitor.

If the monitor is bad I doubt that it would be worth fixing as a new 22 inch monitor is probably $150.

Envision Model G22LWk . It does have setup buttons on the front lower center , pushing them in any sequence does nothing . Push the power button and the light comes on green . If not hooked to a system it'll go amber . This thing kinda flickered once then went dead . I thought it might be the backlight tubes , but they look OK . Bad caps on the power supply are a known source of problems , but none of these are bulged or leaking . I'm a bit lost here . This comp I'm using is where it belongs , and it runs this old CRT unit just fine ...

Well , I doubt it's the comp , since I'm using it with an older CRT monitor .

I have had monitors fed with an out-of-range signal. The usual response is an on-screen display indicating that.

That doesn't mean anything!

Actually, it does. It means the computer is functioning. If with the resolution set to 800X600 it still does not work on the flatscreen, it meens the flatscreen is dead.

What make/model did you say the dead screen is?? Extremely unlikel to be worth attempring to fix.

I'll be spending part of my tax refund on a new one . I'll also be spending some on consumibles for the machine shop ... I've been kinda rough on the smaller end mills while learning .

Hi, One time bad batch of caps affected monitors, mother boards. If the monitor is sick due to those caps. Replacing them usually revives it. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.
