Moniter keeps going dark

[hishighness]

Hey all,

for some time now my monitor will just randomly go dark, not blank though but dark as if I turned the brightness way down on it. It either fixes itself after a while or, sometimes if I give it a whack it'll go back to normal.

And no, I never whacked it before it started doing this so that's not the cause.

Thanks for your time.

What kind of monitor is it and how old?

 

[hishighness]

It's a Compaq S910, I don't know the manufacure date but I got it probably 2 years ago.

Sounds like your monitor is going. Time to upgrade it.

Like Shawn said : It sounds like its going bad.

 

[hishighness]

egh. Well that shouldn't be too hard with all the money I don't have.

Anyway, thanks for the help. At least I know it can't be fixed now.

Most likely your monitor is going as stated above.
I would try to borrow another one, just to be certain.
Not easy to do....... but maybe!
