HP Pavilion MX70 not working

Hey,

The indicator light on my HP Pavilion MX70 monitor is on, the computer
(HP Pavilion 753n) is on, everything is plugged in, the connections are
all good.

The problem? The monitor is currently displaying the black screen of
death. In other words, it is not showing anything. Not even a "no
signal message." I tried rebooting the computer, unplugging the
montior, etc.

When I try to turn off the monitor by pressing down the power button,
it does not turn off.

Anyhow, I would really like to fix this ASAP, but not sure what to do.
Obviously, downloading a driver is not an option.

Thanks.

The MX70 is a regular everyday monitor, not an LCD, right? It sounds like it is
dead, but just to be sure that it is not the computer having problems, attach
either monitor or computer to a known good device and see what happens.

If the monitor has died, simply replace it. Nobody, I mean nobody, repairs
monitors any more, except for maybe the most simple mechanical repairs.

A good quality replacement used 17" monitor in good condition is a $US 40 to $US
50 item these days... Ben Myers
