One of my family members was using his 17" LCD, and he said that it started to smell bad/it had a burning smell, and then the monitor turned off on him.
When he tried to turn it on later, it would only turn on for 1 or 2 seconds, and the screen would disappear, but the "power" light would still be lit.
Now, the monitor works for only the first 1-2 seconds after I push the power button, and then the screen goes blank (no backlight, no display), but the power light still stays lit.
But the display shows a perfectly fine image, along with the backlight, but it all disappears after the first 1-2 seconds.
I've tried using another computer, but the monitor does exactly the same thing, so it's most likely not the computer's problem.
Is there any hope for the monitor?
It's about 2-3 years old, but it has worked really well for these past few years.
