Monitor dead?

[Renton]

Hi all
I have a samsung 2433 24" monitor and it seems to have failed, if i switch it off and then on though it comes on for about a second (good picture) then goes black again with the power light still on?
Im pretty sure its not my card as im using an old analog monitor at the moment, but I dont get why it comes on when switched of and on again.
Do you think its failed or have I done something stupid?

Also does anyone know how long the warrenty is on samsung monitors?

Cheers

Sounds like an inverter failure.

According to Samsung that monitor probably has 24 month warranty.

If it is out of warranty, ease of repair will depend on whether the inverter is part of the LCD panel or not. If it is, then you will probably need a new monitor (not worth replacing LCD panel as about same price as monitor), whereas a separate inverter would only be about £30.

Thanks for the info Watcher, it should be still in warranty
