It's possible that the backlight has gone - If you look VERY closely (it sometimes helps to shine a torch on the display) can you see anything whatsoever?<br />
<br />
Baring in mind that without the backlight it will be practically black, but you should be able to make out lines etc if that is the problem...<br />
<br />
Can you check that and let me know?

I can't see anything. You can see it blink when it first turns on but just a quick flash and not enough to tell if anything is on there or not. &nbsp;

Well, that's as far as my knowledge goes on the insides of LCDs, if it's not that, you'll want to wait for someone else to respond - There are some people on this site who are very good at things like this, so wait a while and see if they respond. If no one else posts within 24hrs or so, try using the 'Request Attention' button as it's possible your question has got lost among the many others.<br />

This monitor was working fine and then i went to turn it on and get no display and no menu either. &nbsp;When connected to a computer the light stays green so i think that it knows it is getting a signal just can't see anything. &nbsp;Is there anyway to repair it, only about a year old.

Acer AL1916W LCD monitor with no display

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
