I have a widescrceen Samsung LCD that goes black after it's been on for 5-10 seconds. Once the screen goes black, turning the monitor off then on again brings the image back for a few seconds. I've turned the brightness down quite a bit and it's staying on now, but this doesn't seem like a desirable permanent solution. It's worked fine for about a year until now. Any ideas?

Sounds like your backlight inverter may be going. When it goes black, can you see a ghost-like image of the graphics you expect on the screen (try looking at it from an angle)? If you can, then that's definitely the backlight system failing. | |||

I had a similar problem. I went to my local Comp shop and had the inverter replaced for $20 plus 15 minutes. No problems with it since. | |||
