:welcome:

I'm sure there will be some other opinions, but have you checked the connections between the PC and the monitor?

Is this a new monitor ?
Is it DVI and VGA and have you switched it to the correct input to match your pcs output ?

Do you have a spare monitor that you can check the card's output with?

Hi All, Checked connections between pc and monitor, no probs.The monitor is VGA and no switch. Have checked card and no problem. Have stripped the monitor down and it looks like a few of the capacitors have leaked. Have taken a few pictures, but don't think I can upload them here. :cry:

Hi All, have stripped the monitor down and have found a Capacitor has blown, have ordered a set of 10 to replace the 5 on the board, so will keep you informed as to what happens when I replace them. :dunno:

Hi All, Have replaced the capacitors and ....... it started up, BUT, The monitor must have been hit with something, as the screen is damaged inside, could not see it till monitor started up and screen lit up  :cry: Still, I am confident now in replacing capacitors  ::) So thanks a lot for the help.

well glad the capacitors did the trick even if in the light of day (or the screen should I say..) a bigger issue was found.
