TFT Broken?

Hey all recently, or for the past few months, even, if I leave my monitor off for a medium time period it refuses to turn back on until hours later, it flashes orange, then green, then it turns itself off, then it continues to repeat that over and over again until it finally turns on, what could this be signifying? as once it's on it works fine, Many Thanks

Is it a Viewsonic? Mine has been doing the "Turning on, image for a split second, off" cycle for a while now, but without the eventually turning on part

Nah it's some default TFT, but it's been extremely reliable for a while now, and I dont even get to see the Image for a split second, I only see an Image when it turns on eventually

Cables all in properly? Sounds daft, but check. Its the most common problem for pcs not working.

Yeh they are, i've even reseated the GFX Card, replugged in everything, left it unplugged etc

Sounds like a fault. Could be a problem with the inverter or the A/D scalar board. Is it still in warranty? If yes return it. If no use it as is, or take the back off and look for any melted components.
