My COMPUTER monitor was working fine but when i came back from cooking some tea and moved the mouse to get rid of the screen saver the picture flashed for a second then the screen when blank.
The on LIGHT is still working and turning the monitor off and on again will display the image for a second and then go blank again.
I have tried the monitor on a different computer and the same thing occurs.

Does anybody know what the problem is and how it can be fixed?

The only thing i can think of is that I was CHANGING the resolution setting earlier today, but set them back to their original settings. Perhaps this could have been the source of the problem

Any help will be much appreciated
many THANKS,
iain 13  Sounds like you need a new monitor. Normally I would ask you to try it on another machine but that didn't work.

I would say to start to look for a new one.

Thing is I was just about to buy a new one, but to use it as a dual monitor alongside the existing one
Looks like my plans may be scuppered now What would be the reason for it just suddenly packing it in?
Whilst it was still turned on too

All electronic components eventually fail.I've had things fail when they were turned off....

Can't think of her name though off the top of my head...It just seemed odd that it happened to be the one day that I fiddled about with the resolution settings
