Old LCD Monitor goes black after a few seconds of turning on

by cmac813 - 3/29/12 11:42 AM

I turned my monitor on and after a few seconds the screen went black. I did this multiple times with the same thing happening and now it's working fine but I know if I turn it off when I go to turn it back on it will turn black after a few seconds. Same thing happens with it connected to my laptop so I know it's not my computer.

It is a really old monitor so I think maybe it's just failing I just want to be sure before I buy a new one. So what do you guys think is there anyway to fix it or do I just need to buy a new one. I just don't understand why it keeps going black and then one time it will work fine, I've had it on for an hour or so and have had no problems.

It's a MAG Innovision LT916s and I've had it since 2006 I think. It's really old and not nearly as good as the new monitors but it still has been working so I haven't wanted to give up on it yet.

Thanks for that model. Seems the cause may be known.
