Computer monitor has died a death

jd79

My TFT monitor was left switched on and unattended for a couple of hours (usual practise, it has powersave) and on return it was totally lifeless. Changed the fuse - still no injection of life. My depth of knowledge has now been exhausted. Help, please.

you sure it's the monitor and not the graphics card on the PC ??

I take it there are no lights on at all ??

possible there is a "on board" fuse in the TFT , but this will involve you opening it up to see

normally see through glass type

Hi Browntoa

I do not know if it is the gaphics card. Wouldn't know where to start.

There are no lights on the tft.

I will see if I can check that there is an onboard fuse on the monitor.

Thanks for your help I am a complete novice.

Does the monitor have an external brick transformer?

Hi Albert

Thanks - no, t doesn't.

If the plug fuse is ok, and any internal quick blow fuse is ok, it's probably going to be cheaper to buy a new one, unfortunately. Assuming that there are no lights on it at all. Is it under warranty?

Hi Albert

Thanks again - will not be able to check the onboard fuse till tommorow, if I can locate it.
