I'm thinking it's a power supply in the monitor.  You might want to try another monitor to assure yourself that the problem is indeed with the monitor.

Make sure you didn't connect the HDD converter upside down.  This can cause your Motherboard to go bad if you get this wrong.  Check also the power cable is connected.  I saw that it needed a 4 pin molex plug for power.  The converters can sometimes be connected upside down and very risky to do.  Any particular reasons to be doing this?  If its for extra space, it's not worth it.  Laptop HDD usually run at 5400 rpms or slower and it would just slow down your computer.  I say stick with regular HDDs unless you need the small space.

The monitor light is going to fail soon. You have to replace it. It costs like $800 to replace it.\n\nThere is a tiny little button that the monitor presses to turn the monitor light off when its in standby or when you close the laptop cover. That might be busted. If it is, that will be a cheap fix.\n\nOtherwise, the monitor light is going bad and thats pretty steep.

vertical oscillator/driver shot. shorted capacitor, or maybe transistor/ic? \nnowadays, you might as well trash it if you can get a halfway decent deal on a flat panel. or give it to your cousin who's MIT material to see if he can fix it.

1) Of course there is the obvious - Is it plugged in?  \n2)  Make sure the cable (I'm assuming it is not a laptop) is plugged in all the way to the computer box.\n3) Try the monitor on another computer if you can.\n4)  If a laptop - try holding down the Function key - labeled "Fn" usually - and hit the F5 key at the same time - this is a toggle to tell your computer to use another video device when you have one plugged in.  You could be toggled to turn off your monitor and look for one plugged in.  Keep holding and hitting F5 to get back to using your monitor.\n5)  If a laptop - it could be from static electricity build up - it is more common than you think.  The solution is hard to beleive but it does work.  Unplug all cords to the laptop - everything.  Then remove the battery.  Now hold the power button on for 3 minutes.  What takes place at this point is - while you hold it down, the power button is pulling all the static electricity from within.  Replace the battery and connections after the 3 minutes. Amazingly if you do this process you will notice a big difference on your screen clarity.\n6). Your graphics card may be bad, try connecting another monitor to your computer.  At times the graphic card may come loose, try pushing it down on the motherboard.\n7).  The monitor may be broken - it is not uncommon that monitors become broken.\n8).  The motherboard may be bad, but usually more than the monitor would probably be affected. \n\nI hope this helps - best of luck if you are having any issues.

PSU failure, where the volatge exceeds ~8.5v. Check the keyboard connector to make sure it's clean.\n\nHave an experienced person look at it (don't pay to have it serviced until a friend says so, that's just stupid)\n\nUsually the fuse connected between the power and the keyboard connector would blow out before the keyboard would.

If you're copying to your hard drive, then it might be going bad.  You should probably run a chkdsk on it.

It is a relatively "normal" problem for all LCD screens to have minor defects. I would suggest that you take it back while you still can, because it will drive you crazy otherwise. I had a stuck pixel on my LCD television, and we had to talk the guy at the store into exchanging it, because their policy (which BestBuy also told me was the policy of most computer manufacturers) is that there have to be something like 6 seperate bad pixels for them to take it back. It's considered a "normal" thing for one or two of them to be bad. Pffft I say!

it will be in your display settings under colour adjustment \nor some computers you can adjuct useing the keys just consalt your manual \nelse it may be the backlight that has failed if it is an lcd monitor

Four things tend to happen to an LCD screen, 1 if the screen goes dark, it could be that the little flourecent tube in your LCD went bad.  2 it could also mean that your LCD inverter went bad.  3 your video harness could of come undone, from either the board or the screen, and last but not least, your video chip could have burned out.  You can rule out most of these symptoms by pluging a monitor up to your laptop to see if it gets a picture.  If your external monitor does get a picture, you know that your video chip is good.  I am assuming that you are taling about a lap top.

Laptops come with batteries.  If your laptop doesn't run when you remove your AC adapter one of several things could be happening.  You could have a bad battery, which is the first thing to check.  If your laptop is under warranty I always suggest contacting your vendor for support.  While not usually a fix, cycling the battery does sometimes help (especially with older batteries - it's not so much an issue anymore).\n\nIf your laptop isn't under warranty you really only have a few options.\n\n1.  you can take it in to a professional and have them figure out what's wrong.\n\n2.  you can try basic troubleshooting steps and see if you can figure out what's wrong.\n\nGenerally speaking laptops that don't run on their own battery power but on AC power have bad batteries.  The first thing I would do, is hop on a auction site (ebay/yahoo/wherever) and try to buy a good used working laptop battery.  Replace that battery, give it a few hours to charge and see if that fixes your problem.  If it doesn't - then you probably have a issue internally with your charging system.  Which at your level means taking it somewhere to be serviced.\n\nDoes your laptop run at all without the power cord?  Even a short time would suggest that the battery just needs replaced.

There are several componants that could be going bad.\nThe most likely is the red output transister, or it's associated circuitry.  If you have a CRT type monitor, it could be a problem in the picture tube.\nIt would probably be cheaper to replace it than to get it fixed.

Sounds like your CMOS battery may have failed.\n\ntry replacing it.\n\n///

you buy a new lcd panel, look on ebay, they run from 50.00 to 400.00 depending on the one you need

FL inverter has failed, you can take the display mask off and re-seat the connections, but after that then the only option you have is to replace the part, fortunately for you its a pretty inexpensive part, like less than 50 bucks.
