My computer monitor has real problems. When ever i have to turn it off or unplug it its fine, When ever I go to turn it back on it stays black and clicks then makes a buzzing sound. With my finacial situation right now i can get another because there like 70 dollars for the off brand monitors. So what can i do to get my computer to come back on. I unpluged it about a week ago and it hasn't come back on yet. Usually It comes back on after a couple of hours is there any way that I can get my monitor to come back on with out having to take it anywhere. Thanks for your time

are you sure it is the monitor as it could be the computer. Either way it sounds like you either need a new system or get it fixed.

You don't say how old the monitor is, so it's difficult to say whether the monitor is wearing out, or if it's a problem with the video card. If you have a friend with a working monitor you can borrow, try hooking that up to your computer to see if the same problem exists. If the borrowed monitor works fine, then the chances are that it's your monitor that needs replacing. On the other hand, if the borrowed monitor also does the same thing that yours does, another possible solution would be to download and install the latest driver for your video card. Often that will fix the glitch. Good luck.

If you do live in the US, try going to a Salvation Army. Especially if they have a special Computer shop (like in NC). You can buy a 17" CRT for about $20.00. It's used, but it works.
With your current monitor, sounds as is the main capacitor is about to go. CRT's are not repairable unless you have taken electronics classes geared to fix TVs. And, if the monitor is more than 3 years old, it's past warranty. Otherwise, you could have shipped it back to the manufacturer for fixing.

Hate to tell you but a new one is the answer. It will cost more to fix it. All i can tell you is shop your local stores or papers for a working used one or demo. Tube monitors should be really cheap..like 20 bucks as you can hardly buy a new one now with 19 inch lcd's going for 200 or less.

No idea how to work on a monitor but if I were you I would just leave it on all the time until you can afford to get a new one.

There is no way that you can fix it without technical help. If you were located withing 30 miles of me I could give you one, I have several that I have updated from. I use a flat screen now
By the way I live in CA I think if everything holds true to form you will live in New York or Ohio. (Smile)
