Busted Monitor

stickdeath08 · 05-14-2008, 04:02 AM

My monitor on my desktop very frequently now is becoming a pain. While doing pretty much anything the monitor will go completely blank. Looks like it turns itself off or someone has pulled the power cable out but the power is still on because the green power light is on while the screen is completely black. I've put an old monitor up there to see if it was my comp or just the monitor and well the old one worked fine, it's just this one that keeps going out. And to get it going again I have to punch it in the side to get it working.

It's a CRT and is fairly new.

Sounds like you have a short in it.

Is it still under warranty ? If not, pitch it and buy a LCD.
