Monitor problems, need help

[InTheClouds]

OK, here is the deal. I have a monitor that I was told to trash but I believe it may be fixable. If I can fix it I can have it.

Here is the diagnosis: When you power it on, the light indicator will go green(like it does when it is working fine)for a second but will then go orange and start blinking. I can hear a clicking sound that goes along with the blinking.

Any sugestions? It sounds to me like a relay or something but my opinion isn't really worth much. I have tried it on different systems and get the same effect.

Thanks in advance.

We had one at work like that and one guy there just used to keep hitting the power button and it would eventually fire.....once it was on it was fine.

it sounds like there is something wrong with the power save switch. On my monitor with I'm not using it the monitor goes to power save mode and the screen turns black. The clicking is probably because it is switching back and forth between the two modes.
