LCD monitor not turning on?

I am using a 22" widescreen Acer flatscreen monitor. It's been great as I use it for PC games and all my apps. Well I was working in photoshop when all of a sudden the screen turned off. I didn't hear anything or observe any smoke. Everything else on my desk was fine (lamp, PC, ink jet printer). No power surge or blackout. I hooked up my PC to another monitor and it was right where I left it. Lamp light did not flicker or turn off. Printer didn't budge. The monitor simply just turned off like it was suddenly unplugged. The little LED light that indicates its plugged in doesn't even come on. I tried different sockets on the surge protector and also another power cable. Nothing. Did my monitor fry? Are these expensive to fix?

    Maybe a bad backlight? Most Acer monitors have 3 year warranties. Call them and report the problem for repair.

    This sounds like a backlight failure or inverter board failure. The backlight is the bulb that lighting fixtures fixtures up your liquid crystal exhibit computer screen exhibit screen on an identical time as the inverter is the what powers it. you be attentive to it somewhat is an inverter project whilst your computer screen starts off usually and reflects the startup/very own pc exhibit screen for a on an identical time as. Then it without notice is going off, leaving a sparkling (black) exhibit screen or a very dim exhibit. on the different hand, in the experience that your liquid crystal exhibit computer screen maintains to be black precise from the commencing up, then this is a backlight bulb failure. Your exhibit screen is wonderful, you basically ought to swap the backlight or the inverter.
