Problems with ViewSonic Monitor

This monitor is just over 2 years old, ive always used a digital cable to connect it to my computer, and no hardware has been changed for some time now. it always gets going after about 10 minutes, then its good for the day, I've tried googling this but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit 21/04/09 if left alone it now takes a couple hours, but if i hold down some of the OSD buttons, it wont flash off, some sort of power problem, getting an imac in a few months grr

dont bother trying to fix it or buy a new one because mine does the same thing... hp1502

and all i do is i put on a screen saver so you dont have to turn off your computer all you do is you make the screen saver on and you turn your energy saver off... unless it starts to blink when you use it for a specific amount of time. your s o l

Don't listen to the people telling you to buy a new one,cuz them people don't even know what they are talking about . but anyways just take the monitor apart and fix it yourself,and by doing that,you won't have to worry about buying a new one !

Just picked my vp2030b up from the shop. It was doing the same exact thing. Bad capacitors in the power section of the monitor.

try using a different cable or a different interface (vga or hdmi if it has it)

Imacs aren't a solution to problems like this.

Viewsonic monitors are inexpensive, and don't last long. If you did some research before you bought you'd know that.

I use viewsonics because they have the highest pixel/inch ratio that I could find.

Guy below is correct- blown capacitor. You can fix these things yourself if you know how to use a soldering iron.
