arg! Another monitor issue!

[Why Syzygy]

My entire system got unplugged accidentally. When I turned it back on, my monitor is defunct. This is a generic brand "AOpen". The monitor will come on and then go dark within a second or two. I have to push the power button off and on for it to come back on for the same brief period. :cry:

The USB wireless adapter wasn't working either, but an unplug and replug got that fixed. There is nothing USB about the monitor. sigh

Could it be a driver? I doubt it. Ever hear of anything like this? Any suggestions before I haul butt out and buy a new one? TIA.

1. Well sheesh.

I turned it off for a few minutes and when I turn it back on, it looks like it's okay! whew!
I never contacted Toshiba to see if they would honor a warranty w/o receipt. Guess that goes back on my to-do list.

Weird anyway. It must have some kind of memory chip...
