I have a 20.1 Sceptre.Scenario:1. Turn on computer2. Turn on monitor3. Monitor stays black but the power light flashes on and off4. Computer boots up normally5. After 20mins-1hour, monitor finally displays desktop and everything works again6. Turn off computer and monitor. Go to sleep.7. Wake up, turn on monitor and computer.8. Repeat steps 1-6. Add 30 mins to step 5 per day. (Up until now it takes a few hours for it to work. Right now it won't even turn on)*I have plugged my monitor into another computer that has no GFX only to get the same result.
Hi there, Very good description of the problem. It sounds like it is time for a new monitor. A good time to get a 23-24 inch LCD monitoryou will love the new monitor. The monitorat link below for $220- has all three inputs plus a built-in HDTV tuner so you can watch TV on it also (just connect cable box, etc plus your computer) Also has good name and specs. Hope this helps, Al
