When it's turned on, the light on my monitor blinks but the screen doesn't display anything. Why might this be happening, and how can I fix it? Monitor will go on for a split second, then screen will go black. Power light is still on and when i turn the screen off and back on the screen displays for a second, then goes black again. I currently have another monitor on the system and it works fine. But something is wrong with the monitor.

    tried connecting my own monitor and getting this problem. Then tried a friends working monitor and still doesn't come on. Just had to buy a new power Box as the fuse had went, could this be a problem with the Graphics card as you plug the monitor cable into this slot?

    It must be from the monitor. Because I connected the faulty monitor to a working computer and use its working cable.
    Can the monitor be fixed or dump?

They normally turn off like this when they aren't receiving a video signal from the pc (same as when you turn off the pc). make sure that it is connected properly, and that the video output is activated. try disconnecting from the other monitor while its on and connect the problem monitor...if it still isn't working then there may be a problem with the cable or the monitor itself. Try another VGA or DVI cable. Hope this helps

My monitor screen is black and the yellow standby light is blinking. I can not get the light to stop blinking or get the monitor to show anything, but a black screen. What can I do to coerrect the problem?

mcdevito75 here, Press the SHIFT key, a screen should come up telling you too click on your user name, left lower side of screen. If this doesn"t work, press the yellow blinking light on the monitor see if picture comes back, then follow the directions. If this doesn"t work, shut computer down with switch on the computer itself. Hope this helps.

I CANT GET MY MONITOR TO TURN ON

It could be the Monitor, the VGA adapter, or the PC itself. If you power on the monitor without anything connected to it, do you ever see anything on the display?

If not, it is probably the Monitor. If yes, it is likely the vga adapter and/or PC.

Monitor : no display and blue led light is blinking

The power supply is the first thing that the 110v electric line goes into. The invertor is the next item past the power supply, or sometimes contained within it. I do not thing monitors are a DIY repair.      First substitute a different monitor to confirm that it is, in deed , the monitor and not the video card.

HD19A / 19-Inch light flickers but no display

One of 2 possibilities come to mind. 

 

1,  The vga chord is loose on the back of the monitor.

2, Your resolution is set too high or low to be displayed.

 

The blinking light means that the monitor is either not getting or understanding a signal.

 

Hope this helps.
