I have a Dell 15 LCD monitor with a model number of E153FPc. And a few seconds after I turn it on the screen will go blank (but if you look closely you can see some of the outlines of the screen. It came with my Dimension 300 and is a few years old. I searched the model number on google and I saw an article on this (the first result) but I couldn't understand what the person was saying. I am good with computers but I am nowhere near good enough to the point where I can open up my screen and run tests. Please tell me what the problem is and how to fix it if I can.
You may not be able to fix an LCD monitor since it has a very complex technology inside. If you have verified the cables and plugs are physically well and the problem persists after this step, what I would advise is to first check if this same problem happens on other computer or if you get the same result with another monitor plugged to your Dimension, as any negative result from any of these tests would open the possibility of a failing graphics card too. Good luck.
