Alright, so my girlfriend's monitor stopped working properly yesterday. We're guessing that maybe it short circuited but we don't know. The issue is that it just won't turn on for more than a few seconds. Everything's plugged in properly, so that couldn't be the problem. I'm not very computer literate, so I can't offer any helpful advice rather than smack it. :P It's not a very old monitor either, only a year or so. Anyone have any idea what the issue could be and how to fix it before she gets a new one?
