buy a new one? sorry no idea. my laptop monitor goes a different colour and i have to restart my laptop because i cant do anything else. i know my laptop itself is still working because i still here msn messages coming through
yep the power cords fine because i'll be using it, not moving anything near the cords and it just goes dead. AND then even after i check the cords still wont turn on
prob gonna have to check out the warranty....too much stuff saved on the memory wouldnt affect the monitor or could it ?

I have the same problem.
Upon switching on the power, notice the amount of video memory you have.
If you have e.g. 003MB Video RAM available, prepare for numerous blackouts.
You have serious problems with the graphics card driver and/or graphics card.
I switched to Window's default drivers (with a shitty 60Hz refresh rate) and the blackouts never happen.

Use Windows's own Help facility, usually summoned by pressing F1.
Search for "Driver rollback", unless you know how to find it.
(like Control Panel > System > Click on the Hardware tab > Click on the Device Manager button > Find Display Drivers and expand the tree > Select the one that opened up like the branch > Right-click > Properties > Click on Driver tab > Click on Roll Back Driver button).
This rolls back to Windows's original drivers instead of using the manufacturer's own one or the current one.
I hate NVIDIA.

NVIDIA's great. It's a company which makes Graphics Cards for Computers, basically the hardware which powers the visuals.
There could be many issues why this is occuring. Has the problem ever occured in the past? It could be anything from RAM, BIOS, Motherboard, Monitor or Windows Driver Issues. Essentially these are all components in your computer which could be attributed to the problems that you're experiencing. I won't explain them to you since it will seem insignificant.
I'd like to you do the following, this will make the process a lot easier and give us a fundamental understanding of your computer.
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type in the Run Dialogue box, 'dxdiag'
4. Click the Graphics/Video Tab once the appropriate information has all loaded.
5. Please tell us what Graphics Card you have, It'll list the appropriate information under 'Vendor' and 'Make'. I'm assuming it will be an Intel Onboard graphics card, but just in case.
Please follow this information then I'll do my best to help you.
I'm saying this all off the top of my head during a study period so I hope that the procedure I've given you is correct, although I'm quite confident that it is.. hehehe..

its a hp pavilion f1503, yeh its lcd...it never comes back on by itself, it only works if i pull out the power cord on the back of the monitor and put it back in (several attempts not just on the 1st go) or if i switch off the whole comp power source at the wall and switch it on after a minute of so and then put the cpu back onExphate said:

just check if ur all cords are inserted correctly and securely, then check for power saving options whihc might cause the laptop to "hibernate" when not in use, if the problem persists then buy a new monitor cord, (whichever is suited to ur monitor & computer) and if that doesnt work, test it with another monitor to see where the problem is.. if its the monitor, get a new one. if its the computer, get a new one
