I've never taken apart an LCD because frankly, I know nothing about them..
Sadly I can say I've taken apart CRT's though, that was stupid, but I still made it to my 18th birthday so I guess I fail at suicidal ideas too
You just reminded me of my old 15inch Zenith TV back then, for the thing used to blank out during use, while I found by taking the back off and "nudging" the board on the back of the tube got it to pop back on - though one day "not paying attention" I reached back and touched the wrong thing and boy did I get a charge off of that... This happen a few years later also, this time a HP monitor, hence the display would continuously fold into a line in the middle of the screen, though this time being a "second" around, I wasn't stupid enough touch around in there.

LOL nice 120 volt are one thing but 10,000 can wake you up damn fast..
LCD's are all for the most part surface electronics. Testing them would be a nightmare. I would have suggested Ana reply. But not just for a few seconds. Leave it off and unplugged over night ( if not done so already ). There is a sensor in there that sends a power good line to the displace when all conditions are met. Obviously in your case its not being met. The sensory is not electronic its firmware so you would not be able to trouble shoot it. Though that does not mean the problem is firmware. Some hardware is failing and taking an abnormally long to to raise line good. Not really sure what could be the problem..
Is the time random. or is it close to clock work.
Does temp change things? Put the system in a cold environment, them warm.
If memory servers my right you not in a high humidity state So nix that
Does tapping it help. No drifter throwing it at a wall does not mean tapping it..
Have you tried it on another computer?
120 volts? Wonder if this is to blame for my sudden ADD and anger issues...
Anyway, tried to keep it "power off" most of the day, tapping it, shaking it, pulling on it, and sticking it in the refrige for a minute - nothing. Doing the same. It's getting worse in fact. The last couple of days I have to leave the PC running all day, go to work, come back late in the afternoon while "restarting" the PC to finally get the screen to display. It seems the PC needs to idol for a bit, but tonight I'm getting nothing while using my LCD TV for a secondary, but hard on the eyes as all "e"s and "a"s are "o"s pal..
Don't know what to do, but not considering to "terrorize" this one as I'm previously know to do with machines...
Searched around on the issue "google" but just came up with an interesting article... (
