After restarting, it still went blank. The only thing that could be seen is me wallpaper, nothing else. No icons and no start menu. I don't know what to do. If worse comes to worse, I'll just reformat it. :( It also happend to my laptop. i tried to do the system restore using the safemode and command prompt. After restarting, it still went blank.

Today it helped to disconnect it from the CPU. Sometimes it helps to just wait a while, and it lights back up again. It's hard to tell whether these so-called solutions are random associations or actual fixes. I'm not sure if the cable is on the way out, or if the LCD is starting to die, or what. I've started saving everything onto a flash drive so that I can work on my (new) laptop when the screen blacks out. (Bought the laptop in part for this reason; I'm a big fan of redundancy.) This is not really a long-term solution. Do you think this is hardware, cables, software, or what? It seems different from the problems others are having, since the monitor has worked perfectly for maybe 5 years. My middle-aged monitor started blacking out on me a few weeks ago.

But yesterday that stopped solving the problem. It seems I am having the same issue as Amy. Unplugging and restarting does nothing. I can hear the CD drive working and the lights above the buttons light up, but the screen stays blank. Not even turned on and black. Any ideas?
