Monitor Backlight Turns Off

Makdaddy · 9th March 2010, 9:12 PM

Hey guys,

I have a problem with my monitor which happened randomly. Basically when I turn it on, the backlight is on for about 2 seconds and then turns off, I have tried using VGA/DVI and both have the same result. I have googled this and it seems to probably be an inverter problem.

The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 2233sw, and the warranty ran out about a month ago. I understand that this issue is not to hard to fix, but may be costly... I really don't have time to fix it myself, so does anyone know any places or people I could get to fix it (how much $ would I be looking at?)

Well thanks in advance...

Mak
