I don't have much personal experience with LCDs as I've used CRTs exclusively at home up till a month ago, so I don't know how LCDs normally die.

The reason I ask, is we have like 12 "dead" LCDs here at the office, but they all exhibit the same wierd behavior.

You can plug them in and hook them up and turn them on, but the screen will only be "on" for a split second; then they go completely dark. Even the menu buttons don't show up so they are effectively dead.

Is this normal, or am I doing it wrong, because I am getting ready to junk the whole batch.

THanks!
