    Yikes, not sure what is going on there. If you can not get into the OSD (on screen display menu), it is likely a problem with the monitor itself. Just to be 100% sure, do you have another computer to try it on? or another monitor you can test your PC with? We need to rule out the video card. Is it a DVI or VGA monitor?

    I'm afraid there is likely something wrong with an internal monitor component. Not much that can be done, with the exception of contacting KDS, and arranging an RMA. Most LCDs are not terribly 'user servicable' I'm afraid. Is your unit still under warranty?

    sounds like the back light or the power inverter went out on it

    with it on shine a brite light on the screen, and look at it frome the side, if you can some what see the desktop one of the above went out

    their are some sites on the web sell the parts for them

    just google LCD back lights
