It comes on for a few seconds and then the screen goes black but the power light stays on.
I googled around and checked gateways site to no avail, maybe the kind folks here can help?
The monitor (Gateway LP2207) going out after 2 seconds is due to bad electrolytic capacitors. I opened up my monitor and saw three swollen electrolytic capacitors. I went to RadioShack and bought new 35 volt ones with the same values. I desoldered the bad ones resouldered the good ones in and then put everything back together (quite the grueling job! - make sure you look on YouTube on how to take this monitor apart. This will really help). Connected it up and now works great!
