Help Needed with 15" Viglen TFT Monitor

[Ray Birch]

Hi,

Can anybody tell me whats likely to be wrong with a Viglen Monitor that I
have?
When it is connected to the PC and in standby mode, it briefly
comes on for about 5 seconds when the Computer is switched on and then goes
off again.This must be a common problem with the LC552, as 3 of them
all went the same way within a week, (all unfortunately out of warranty
though ;o)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is usually a sign of a bad lamp driver board. There's usually 2
or 4 tubes and if any one fails to light, the power supply shuts down
after a few seconds. Some monitors will stay on and you can see a
picture under bright light, but others shut the entire monitor off.
If there are any fuses on the lamp board start by checking them. They
sometimes blow for no reason.
