Solution

Suspected faulty power supply.

Disassemble monitor and unscrew power supply, making sure to be careful with components such as capacitors which can hold charge for a substantial amount of time after being unplugged, make sure to touch the board holding only the edges.

  • Check the two fuses for continuity, replace if needed.
  • Check capacitors for swollen tops.
  • Check for any charred or miscolored components.

The power supply board is possible to buy online if needed.
