Black screen on PC monitor
 

i have a 17 inch Viewsonic P775 that only displays black.
it recognises the PC input cause the front LED changes colour
before opening it up, is it worth the effort? is there something fairly
simple that it could be or am i looking at HV failure?

Shine a bright light on the screen.
Can you see any image at all?
It'll be 'black on black'.

I see no "black" picture regardless.
the light goes green for a couple seconds then goes yellow.
