When I turn on my 24" Gateway monitor, it powers up...and the Gateway logo flashes for a sec...but then the screen goes black. I have to turn the monitor on and off quite a few times before the screen finally goes to the password screen. Any Ideas?

What is the model number of this monitor? Does it do the same with other PC? Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for:http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/al... Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.http://www.badcaps.nethttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_p...
