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!
