For a few weeks now my monitor has been struggling to turn on. I shut my computer down over night and when I wake up on the morning I turn my tower then monitor on. But instead of the monitor coming on, the blue light just flashes (monitor 'on' button) - sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It takes upto 30minutes for the monitor to display a slightly grey screen at which I can turn the monitor off and then on again and the desktop will instantly appear.

After about 10-20minutes I can restart the computer by the button and the display will come up fine, but only to go into what I can only describe as standby as soon as it gets past the Windows XP loading screen. After a few restarts it will finally reach the desktop and the monitor will be fine all day until I turn it off again.

I have a Belinea 20.1" monitor - any ideas?

Thanks. :)
