i went to bed last night..my monitor was fine...i got up today..it is all dark? kind of like a very old tv. i understand it is 6 years old..is it common for it to go all at once? i hooked another monitor i had around..it works fine. so i don't think it is my PC
 
It is common for them to go all at once. Usually the flyback transformer goes south.

It is fixable, expect an average of $75.00 to repair.
 
thanks bcastner.. i was afraid of that...guess i will use this one i bought from a coworker a few years ago for a back up. it had never been used... figured $50 was worth a backup..glad i did now:) jusgt was used to 17 in..this is a Dell 15in guess beggars can't be choosey thanks again!!
