hey all, thanks for taking the time to help me out.

anywho, the monitor is great and has been working awesomely until today.

I turn on the computer and the monitor boots as usual. It will say "analog" up at the top and at the samme time quickly flash what its suppose to display. Then the screen turns black again.

If i unplug it from my video card, it doesn't even give me a "no signal detected" display. Nor can I access the menu when its turned on.

When LCD monitors are turned on, even if its display all dark, the pure black is still a bit lighter because of backlighting (for my 225bw) but after it flashes the image, that back light isn't there. So basically, after quickly flashing, it no longer displays anything.

Its not my 7900gt because I tried another monitor and it worked fine. And I've tried the 225bw on several other computers too. Same results.

Any suggestions?

Thank you all.

I have the exact same monitor, with the exact same problem ... even discontected from the video card, I can't even pull up the monitors menu. But after I turn it off then on, it will flash normal for half a second. Did you find an answer to this problem?
