Reply: (edit)This model usually has two parts that go out. 1)The power switch does light up but no picture then the Flyback transformer is bad. 2)If the power switch does not light up at all, then the +5v stand-by power supply is dead. Which symtom do you have?

Reply: (edit)Thanks for taking the time Bud! The symptoms are that I get no picture and the power switch blinks from green to amber. Even if I disconnect the video cable the power switch still blinks. I spoke to a tech from an apple store and he said that it meant that theres no input whatsoever. The problem is that they offered to fix it for a price just below the cost of a new monitor! So I have to look for an alrternative. Thanks again.

Reply: (edit)I have the same problem. The flyback trafo is bust they told me. My screen blinks after long usage. Did you get a hand on that cicuit diagram. I'd like to have it too.
