I have a ViewSonic Optiquest Q9B-2 LCD Monitor that is no longer under
warranty. When I turn on the computer the monitor display comes on
but almost immediately turns off. The power light remains on. I can
shut the monitor off and then back on and it will display. But, then
within a couple seconds it will go black. Does anyone have any idea
what I can do or if its something that will require a repair shop?
Please help!!!!

If you can look at the screen in direct light at an obtuse angle and see
what normally should be there when your PC is on then the backlighting
system may be at fault. If you can replace the cfl tubes and invert then
it is fixable by you. If you need to take it to a shop it may cost almost
as much to fix as a new monitor would cost.
