Default [Answered] Monitor goes black

Hi, I have a 20" widescreen starlogic lcd monitor. Its about 6 months old. The problem I am having is after the monitor has been on for a few minutes the screen goes black. the green power button stays green. I can turn it off for a minute and turn it back on and it will stay on for several seconds to maybe a minute and then it goes black again. The monitor is under warranty but as of yet I cannot find my reciept. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem? Thanks in advance for any input anyone can give.

Hello bigal, welcome to PCHF.

If there's a physical problem with the monitor, there's absolutely nothing you will be able to do about this yourself, except for seeking out your warranty documentation.

However, I would double check you have the right "Input Source" selected on your screen. Many screens now come with both analog and digital connections. If you are connected to a digital socket (normally white), make sure your input source is selected to Digital. If you are connect to a analog socket (normally blue), make sure your input source is selected to Analog. The input button on many monitors is normally the first button you have on the screen, others you may need to access the menu to change your input source.
