help... lcd monitor doesn't power up!

[SuperWrat]

Hi, I have a 3 year old lcd monitor which had been working fine (no color problems, dead pixels, etc.) until recently. One day I was using the monitor when it flickered and shut off. I haven't been able to power up the unit since then. I assume it's a problem with either the power source (there's an AC adapter/converter box) or some power unit in the monitor is damaged (maybe a power 'inverter?')

Like I said, I can't get the unit to power up. Does anyone know what the possible problems are? And if so, how much might it cost to fix? I've never dealt with fixing lcd monitors and I'm trying to decide whether to keep this unit or get a new one.

Thanks.

Oh... btw it's a 15" compaq lcd monitor

Maybe the backlight burned out. You could contact Compaq and ask if they have a repair rate for you.

i believe it has something to do with the power since when it's powered on, the LED on the on/off button will glow green.... but it doesn't

any other suggestions?
