There is a component in the lcd monitor that fails.. its a common problem. Most likely a capacitor or resistor and in some cases its the backlight that may have blown.
They can be fixed but most of the time ppl just toss them out not realizing this or having some technitian quote so much its cheaper to buy a new one.
Reason its so expensive to repair.
One hours work at the most, $55 to look at it and then the hourly rate the tech charges which could be $65 or more an hour. Depending on the part, its probably only worth a few dollars at most if not less than a dollar.
Those prices above are what Leading Edge Computers charge here where I live.
