Sounds like the inverter, did you see if they were available? There usually fairly easy to change.

Offering this here first. I have a monitor which started blacking out
3 days ago. I always liked this monitor (had 2, the other one still
doing just fine!).

This is an Acer Flat-screen monitor, 19-inch screen, 1680x1050, DVI or
VGA input. The resoultion on this is especially nice. Good color, at
least I always enjoyed it.

Specs:
Acer X193WBD. 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 5ms, 1680x1050, (WSXGA+),
2000:1, DVI, Black (A179-1944)

This ls not-quite 3 years old, still in warranty. It powers on, but
flickers, then black-screens. Acer says they can and will fix  it
(free parts / labor) . It needs to be shipped back to Acer (in Texas),
who will fix it  & return within a few weeks.
Shipping might be around $40.00, but is still considerably cheaper
than buying a new monitor like this. Acer ships back at no cost, the
only shiping cost is one-way, TO Acer.

Or if you are good at fixing stuff like this, it might be just the thing.

E-mail me for details if interested. I'm in Worcester near Elm Park.
