i have a 19" monitor ( nec fe950). i bought it off ebay. it was supposedly in new condition. a few years old but hardly ever used. the guy i bought it from said he got it to use a graphics design course but he didnt take the course and so didnt use the monitor.

the following problem has occured abt two months after buying it.

the screen goes black. the power is still going to the monitor because i can see the light on the monitor. also it appears the signal is getting through from the cpu to the monitor because the light is green. when there is no signal coming through the light is orange. when i press the menu button on the monitor nothing appears. its not a connecting fault with the cpu or a power fault it would seem. any ideas what could cause this. it happens quite frequently now. im prob gonna have to buy a new monitor i know but id like to know what is causing the fault all the same. it seems strange that something can be working fine for an hour or two and then break. i fix the problem by fiddling the power cable in the socket of the monitor. i move it back and forward and eventually it comes back on.

any ideas what could be causing this problem. anyone ever experienced this problem b4?
