    If it is a large enough monitor or TV, i will open it up and see what is wrong.
    Usually it is a shorted electrolytic capacitor (we call 'em Cow Pastures)
    Replacing caps is an easy fix.
    Basic soldering skills are necessary.
    I have rescued a lot of nice monitors like this.
    I often salvage components from other scrap boards to repair monitors.
    TV boards, motherboards, power supplies all can be donors.
    If you were doing it as a repair business, you should buy new caps.
    I just gotta salvage - that's how I roll.
    If it is time consuming, I save the circuit board, ac adaptor if any, and any metal.
    The rest gets recycled. Not thrown out.
    There is not enough $$ in the 15" displays to bother with
    To each his own!
