has anyone figured out how to fix the problem of this monitor going blank after a couple of seconds when it does have power as the power button is on

I got rid of mine. The problem got worse and worse. It's junk made by slave laborers for pennies a month.

No. I pulled mine apart because of the same issue and found it was the back lighting (shine a flashlight when it is on and you will see your screen still works, just no backlight). The lower CCFL wires for mine had a bunch of unidentifiable crystal like corrosion which might be due to bad SIC insulation but my CCFLs worked fine. I cleaned the corrosion and tested good. Prior to that I swapped out all of my electrolytic capacitors on the supply board. Still nothing. Considering getting a new one to match my good one or buy two new monitors and move on.....not sure yet.

I've had this monitor for almost three years and have not experienced any issues.

Sorry, I no longer have this monitor. I upgraded to the HP LA2405wg. But I never encountered any problems the brief time I had it.

Sorry, I've had mine for over two years and have not experienced any problems with it.

Probably a blown capacitor. Cause of most monitors being tossed. Fix is simple enough - unplug it, wait a day to discharge, pull it apart, and look at the small cylinders on the board. If any are blown (rounded and/or oozing an orange fluid), desolder them, and replace them with new capacitors of the same capacitance (xxx uF) and the same or higher voltage. These can be had at most electronic part stores for $0.1-$3 ea.

Contact the manufacturer about the warranty status, and request help to identify this problem. The display may be defective and have to be replaced

I had this same issue and I removed the CMOS battery and power for a couple of minutes and then it worked. I hope it works for you too.

When plugged into power, the monitor still appears to be "off," with no blue screen or anything. When a video signal is supplied, the monitor powers on in under a second, but I don't know exactly how quick. The screen goes black (off) as soon as the video signal stops. Hope this helps!

I ran into a similar issue but fixed it by plugging it in and holding down the power button until it turned on. You might try holding it for 15 seconds or so.

Unplug the power adapter from unit, leave it unplugged for about 5 mins and plug it back in. This procedure has worked for me

My screen would come on briefly and go black. The 2 main capacitors for the power supply were bad. It took 15 min to unsolder old capacitors and solder new ones and works perfectly. I have the other just in case for a fraction of what I would have been charged to diagnose the problem. I would say yes if that's your problem.

Every time I'd turn the screen on it would be perfect, then after about 5 seconds the entire screen would become a dead pixel. The PCB going bad is apparently a common issue with these monitors. I told the seller about the issue and they paid to have it shipped back to them, no hassle. Got another one and it's perfect, no dead pixels.

The fact that it restarts and functions makes me think more of a memory problem then a power supply issue. Is the problem only while playing a movie or anything else, have you tried to open task manager and monitor your memory and CPU usage for when this happens? Good luck and hope it works out for you

Hmmm, Only suggestion I can make is to unplug the power to it and plug it in again, sometimes it needs to be restarted.

It must be defective if you have it plugged into a working USB port and the ports on the monitor won't work. I've had mine quite a while and use the USB ports daily with no issues

Ivan had a legitimate question Cliff with a sarcastic answer from you. My monitor has the same problem and is worthless at this point. If we figure it out I will fairly rate this product. Our security system is a high test system and not from the big box stores.

If hitting the red power button does nothing your unit is broken. or perhaps you have the plug backwards in the strip and that causes issues...

I have the same problem. The light in front is on and the power button is pushed one way and it still dose not work. I have the same problem and mine has been on charge for several day's and it still does not work, and the button is in the right place.

I find it interesting that this question came over my email a few days ago and I had also started having issues with my monitor too. For a few months when I turned on the monitor it would start going through the menus on its own sometimes changing the settings. More recently when I turned it on it would light up to start and then turn itself right off. The monitor worked pretty well for me up until about four months ago so it looks like once it passes a certain age or level of use it just stops working for some people

Unplug the power and plug it back in. If you don't see a picture, it might be stuck in the wrong video mode. If it is, you might not be able to fix it without plugging it into a television that supports the mode it is currently in.

Unplug the lcd connector and plug it back, but if that doesn't work probably is the lcd problem, try with different lcd
