I have a Flat Screen Computer Monitor less than 2 years old and here in the last few days the screens black?
The powers on for the screen but when i go to use it, it comes on then just goes black, is my screen going out, is it fixable or am I going to have to get another new monitor?
If you can faintly see an image on the screen it means that the backlight has gone out.
If the power indicator led flashes or goes out you have power supply issues.
Both items should be covered under warranty if you still have one.
Unless you have a lot of electronics experience and can tackle the job yourself, the monitor is probably uneconomical to repair.
What model is it BTW?

Eimona $7.99 The world is flat.And India unabashedly embraces western culture and capitalism.Eimona-”anomie” in reverse-is the tale of a future already happening to India.”Eimona is a chilling account of a future that is almost upon us: sophisticated technology and global finance altering the fabric of human relationships to cre-ate a world where each individual is alone in a virtual space and nature is irrelevant unless captured as a computer screen-saver. A timely fable which might make our high-achievers pause and think.”Meenakshi Mukherjee India’s leading literary critic and Sahitya Akademi Award winnerEighty-four year old Subbu’s world has gone topsy-turvy. The normal is now the abnormal, and the abnormal, the normal. With distant amusement and mischief, he watches the con-flict between the Old India that is struggling to retain its essence, and the New India of stock options, freshly minted millionaires, prenuptial agreements and layoffs. His only interest in life is his eight year old great-granddaughter, Maya.Overwhelming doubt characterizes the life of Bharat, Subbu’s grandson-a successful in-vestment manager, who becomes a millionaire, then watches his wealth catastrophically vanish. Indu, Bharat’s wife, is young, attractive, and filled with a certitude that contrasts her hus-band’s uncertainty.Maya, Bharat’s daughter, does not understand why she has to chat online, play games on the Internet, and attend a multitude of classes from karate to dancing. A nature lover, she loves to play hopscotch with the children from the nearby fishermen settlement.A tiny voice keeps urging Subbu to flee from the dystopian world of eerie loneliness, fear anddisconnectedness.Combining sharp observation with stylish satire, Eimona is the definitive story of this “electroni-fied” generation.”Twenty-five years ago, acclaimed writers such as Salman Rushdie and Anita Desai presented the world with an India wres-tling with the simultaneous formation |

Getting Started in Investment Analysis $19.95 A Straightforward And Accessible Guide To The Discipline Of Investment AnalysisGetting Started in Investment AnalysisWhen buying a new car, computer, or even a flat screen TV, many of us take the time to research what we’re getting into before we make the commitment. But when it comes to investing, people often give their money to a mutual fund or money manager with little review—or buy stocks with no idea of their real worth. This is definitely not a recipe for success.To achieve the results you want, you need to “kick the tires” of potential investment options, rather than blindly follow an “expert’s” advice.

Tablet Computer $71.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A “tablet computer”, or simply “tablet”, is a complete computer contained entirely in a flat touch screen that uses a stylus, digital pen, or fingertip as the primary input device instead of a keyboard or mouse – which may or may not be included. The name is derived from the resemblance to writing tablets, and presents a more natural user interface when the touch screen is integrated with the display, as is customary on a tablet. Unlike laptops, tablet personal computers may not be equipped with a keyboard, in which case they use a virtual onscreen substitute. |

The Locater $3.99 This story was totally fiction and the characters are fiction as well. Some of the material used in this book was gleaned from articles written about Osama Ben Laden; Afghanistan; the United States Marine Corps; the Kennedy Assassination; the gas attack on the Tokyo Subway system. A lot of the technical knowledge was taken from magazine articles and articles on the Internet. A great portion of the possible use of the computer for law enforcement was part of the writer’s imagination. It remains to be seen if a lot of the technology mentioned in this story will come to fruition. The advances of computer technology in the last few years have been so astounding that it is hard to imagine what lies ahead for us. It could become a golden age and one that can promote peace to the world. It can be a boon to the Medical Profession as it already has. We could be heading for a civilization where we don’t have to worry about crime or sickness or war. H G Wells wrote about time travel. Even that is not as implausible as it once was. When the writer was born, Space travel was talked of but no one thought that there would ever be a modern Buck Rogers. Who ever imagined that we would have six foot wide flat screen televisions broadcasting events all over the world and from outer space. So the Technology used by “Investicom” may not be so far fetched. Let’s see. |
