    It a Dell Flat screen monitor and it seems to be kaput .

    The Model No. is in Chinese .

    Is there anything can be done with these monitors , or are just throw-away when this happens ?

    Get a torch, can you see any display on the screen? Could be the inverter or backlight bulb have gone

    hi guys
    I have just hooked up the monitor to a laptop and it has a black screen.

    But I could see ' starting windows '' through it .

    I have used atorch and can see the icons on desktop.

    It is just the backlight then ? and how do you fix this

    the button on the monitor is green and if I turn it off and back on again , I can see the screen for a split second .

    Possibly not tbh, if its an old monitor just get a new one, they are cheap enough these days

    Its obviously best to throw-away in the nearest bin .

    Not worth the hassle of trying to fix .- might keep the 3 pin plug and cable .

    Looking on youtube , it looks to be a tricky job to fit either .
