Hi, I have a problem with my monitor. It started a few days ago. When I leave the computer on for a while but don't use it, I come back to the monitor off and the light blinking. At first I thought it was the screen saver but I couldn't bring it back on. It seems that my system keeps running in the background, cause one time I left it with a paused movie and when i came back I pressed space and the movie continued, but only the sound. When I disconnected the VGA cable it still stayed off, light still blinking and there was no message to reconnect. After a few minutes of connecting and disconnecting the cables, and a restart, it turns back on. Any ideas what it might be. . ?

Could just be a problem with the sleep mode...
Could be a failing monitor...
Could be a hardware problem...

* Can you connect the monitor using DVI or HDMI instead?
* Try using a different monitor for a few days, if it doesn't have this problem when your computer goes to sleep, assume the problem is related to the monitor and/or cable.
* If the other monitor also has the same problem, then it could be a long list of issues, from hardware failure to some software configuration.
