Monitor blacking out

Well for the last month or so my monitor has begin to play up on me. When I turn it on the screen works for about 10 secs or so and then goes completely black. Yet, the light on it stays green telling me it hasnt turned off or anything. I have ensured that all cables are correctly plugged in.
In the beggining I could just keep turning it on and off and eventually it would start working. This is no longer the case. I actually once spent about 10 min trying to get it to work with this method. I know its not just my computer as it had started with my old computer and has continued with my new one.
As you can imagine this problem is really annoying and I would appreciate any help. The monitor is an ACER 17 inch AL1711. Cheers for any help guys

it seems as though the back light is failing to start when turned on, can you see anything on the screen? (it will be incredibly dim) (obviously)
the only thing i can recommend is that you contact Acer or the company you purchased it from and find out about getting it repaired (hopefully it's still under warranty) as i seriously don't think you should crack it open and DIY it.
