Hi, recently my monitor has been making some sort of quiet buzzing/screeching sound which goes away after 30 sec or a min. But now my monitor isn't starting at all, i usually have to turn the power on the monitor off and on a few times before it works. Sometimes my monitor works right away but usually when i turn on my PC it makes a screeching sound and then doesn't work, the light is blue which means it's recieving a signal so i'm not sure what is happening. Yes i have checked my power cables and they are all connected properly, plz help!!

How old is it? More than 5 years? If so, sounds like its dieing. Probably cheaper getting a new one than repairing.

It seems like one or more capacitors in the monitor are ready to die, otherwise could be your powersupply screaming. Either way, it's the time to look for a new monitor.
