The problem you have is caused by one of two things, either a blown power supply in the backlight inverter or bad backlight bulbs. More than likely it is the bad power supply. The problem in the power supply are parts called capacitors, they blow out because of the heat trapped inside the monitor enclosure. If you can solder you should be able to repair this type of problem. You can go to our web site at: www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm we have pictures of what the capacitors look like when they blow out. Take the case off the back of your monitor and look for any that look like the pictures. Replace all of the ones that are bad, the values of the caps are printed on the side of each one. You can order replacement caps from several places on the internet or contact us and we can supply them for you. When installing the replacement caps be sure to insert the new ones with the stripe on the side going the same way. If you don't want to do the repairs yourself we offer a repair service. If you have any additional questions just email me.
