System is a desktop running Windows 7 and am using 3 monitors (930B is not working).
Seeing a blank screen even though display shows up in Windows 7 display settings.
I can change resolution and refresh rate but screen remains blank.
Device manager says display is working properly.
NOT seeing any "no signal" message (even when computer is off) and it seems like mouse pointer can be moved onto the blank display (doesn't stop at edge of working monitor).
Green (power?) light is blinking about 2 times a second constantly (even when computer is off).
History:
Monitor worked fine for a while.
Then it started taking a while for my extended desktop to be displayed (only this monitor).
The amount of time waiting for it to start working kept getting longer and longer until it stopped coming on at all (with system up all day).
Took apart to look for bulging caps but they looked okay.
Any ideas on what's wrong?
Does it sound like a backlight problem or bad caps (even though they look okay)?
Thanks,
Dave

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
