So my Acer h235h has just decided to not show the display after like 10+ years of use.

I was playing a game, put to sleep as usual then upon waking didnt display anything. Now, the monitor has had problems waking before and required ethier a system restart or a power cable pull to get it working again. However these methods didnt work this time around.

Tried attaching the monitor to the PS3, tried with different HDMI cable and still nothing.

Its wird though because the monitor is working and not in stand-by and the screen seems to flicker but then remain black. I suspect that maybe the backlight has gone? Thats if the monitor even uses on? Its from 2009.

Obviously, ive been looking at replacements as i would rather get something new than pay half the cost into repairing a 10 year monitor..

Any suggestions or troubkeshooting tips?

Nothing you can do yourself here unless you want to start buying system boards, maybe the LCD panel for it. Not worth the time and money to fix it.
