With the back of you hand lightly against the screen, turn it on and off a few times. Feel the hair on your hand "tingle" a bit from static electricity? If no, then probably flyback trouble.


As said above, but do also check if turning the picture width/height adjustments on the rear of the monitor have any effect. In my 1084S the V.HEIGHT potentiometer on the rear had a broken soldering causing the screen to be powered on but without any picture shown. Cracked solderings on the inputs can also cause blank screen so try fiddling the connectors while power on to see if there is any life.

Glad it's working now, hopefully permenantly.  It sounds like it could be a cap or resistor on PSU side if it comes back.  LOPT faults aren't normally intermittent like that.  Could also be a dry solder joint, perhaps on PSU side.

Regards 'fiddled around' - that's how you kill yourself!  When you say round cable I am not sure where you mean?
I got the picture that he didn't open the monitor. To me it sounds like just a loose cable or intermittent connector. Power cable is the black thin cable, the big round one is the RGB cable.
