I would try disconnecting the monitor from the computer and see if it comes up with the test screen. Usually this is a default screen to know you know that the monitor is functioning properly. If you do see this then chances are it is the video card and not the monitor. Depending on what kind of video card you have this may be a blessing or a curse.

Hi. Sounds like the trace was lost. Did you clean it recently with any kind of liquid? You might have a dead monitor at this point but if you take it apart (unplugged and with the cable removed) you might be able to see the problem. Clean, thoroughly dry, leave it open over night, and hope for good luck. HOLD OFF. Just read your update. Try to boot into 'Safe' mode by pressing the F8 key repeatedly while the computer boots. As another answer suggested, loosen your video card and re-seat it.

Try:
Checking/replacing the cable going to the Acer.
Checking the video on the PC with another monitor.
Checking the video settings on the PC.
If nothing, replace the Acer, easy as that.

Its failed. Get another monitor. By the way, the monitor was not programmed to display acer. That is set by the system itself. But if its black, you can test the video card, but i think at this point its safe to say its the monitor.

Your monitor is fried. Go to repair center or buy a new monitor.
