Thank You, I works on electric equipments, but it is the 1st time on a monitor (mine) Mayby someone can help me starting. The monitor do notting, no reaktion from push button

You need to start with the power supply section. As you work on electronic equipment, that should be fairly intuitive to you. As it's completely dead, I would guess that the power supply's chopper transistor or switching regulator IC isn't getting any supply, or the pwm IC's 'startup' resistor is open. Could also be an open emitter/source resistor on the chopper transistor/FET, caused by the latter being shorted, or a dead pwm IC. Check any components in the mains supply, ie internal fuses, soft-start thermistors (if any), chokes, solder joints, power resistors, broken tracks etc. Also check the blindingly obvious what many people overlook- the mains lead and socket, and if the monitor has one- the mains switch!

If there's a Power Mosfet at the back of the board, check to see if it's shorted. In the 15" model, just removing it restored the monitor, but it should be replaced.

Well, reading

should get you started. Once you understand the safety information, you should beging with the main power supply and horizontal circuits for faulty components, bad solder connections, etc. Common problems COULD BE: Bad electrolytic capacitors in the switching power supply, shorted transistors, diodes, regulators, etc. in the power supply, bad horizontal output transistor, etc.
