NEC Multisync LCD 1810: Broken?

I was asked to look at a couple LCD monitors that stopped working; 3 NEC MultiSync LCD 1810 XtraView displays. These were all manufactured in 1999 so they're pretty old. Here's the problem they have. If being fed a signal through VGA, the monitor would flash on for a second, then turn back off as if not receiving a signal. If I push the power button on and off, the screen flashes again but then goes dark. I tried to use the correct drivers from NEC, but to no avail. It's a shame because these monitors push out a nice image for the one second it's on.

Anyone got any ideas? Do you think it's a driver issue, or a backlight issue? I thought of scratching out backlight as a problem since it's able to throw some good light for that one second. LMK.

Thanks!
 
Sounds like the backlight is flashing and then dying. You could try opening it up and checking the backlight to see if it is working properly.
