Power turns off and on fr abour 5 minutes before finally staying
Monitor flashes on and off incontinuesly for about five minutes before the power finally stays on and then the monitor functions ok. This happen when the computer has just been turned on from the sleep or off mode. If not using the computer for 'X' amount of minutes and it goes into a sleep mode you can depress the space bar to reactivate it and the monitor powers up ok in that situation. What could be the problem?

Hello,
This is a classic symptom of a failing power supply. After 2-3 years of use many LCD power supplies will start fail because of parts called capacitors that start dying due to the heat buildup in the monitor case. If you can solder then you should be able to do the repair yourself. Check out this page on our web site; http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/capacitors/ This article explains what capacitor are, how they fail and what you will need to get for the replacement parts. The parts can be ordered from many places on the internet, we stock they too. If you don't want to do the repair yourself we do offer a repair service, that info can be found here: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/service-request-form/
