    Hi everyone, I'm having problems with my monitor and wondered if any of you techies out there have any idea what's wrong.

    It's a 22" LG flatscreen monitor, it works fine for about 20 mins but then it turns itself off ,then back on again almost immediately, after a minute or so it does the same again,
    the longer you are using it , the more often the problem occurs. after an hour or so of use, it turns off then on every 30 seconds or so. :'(
    I've started using my spare but it's much smaller
    Just wondered if it's repairable or in the bin! ;D
    There's no feelin' like 2 wheelin'

    somewhere in the monitor's menu it should have a 'power save' or 'sleep' function, turning that off may help

    try using this troubleshooting, as i don't know which monitor you have exactly. it should be repairable, although depending on the problem it may be cheaper to buy another.

    i think they have little flourescent type lamps for providing the backlighting, I have a screen at work that will only show for under a minute before the screen going blank. Don't know if anyone can replace them or not though, i've resigned myself to replace this one

    Sounds like something overheating/cycling :-/

    That was my immediate reaction.

    This may make no sense but reverse change the cable from pooter to screen.. it has worked on similar prob :-? and .like been mentioned, check out the options menu just to make sure it is set ok. Other than that a repair may not be cost effective as a new one will be about £120.

    I need amusement in my sad life and it looks, very much, like you fit this requirement admirably..............begin the amusement!!!!!

    You could try Altek. Take it over there and they should be able to give you a price to look at it.
