John Atkins: Based on the (lack of) information that you posted there is not much you can do other than verify that your computer and it's video display card is still working OK by plugging in a different monitor. Also make sure that there is not a problem with your monitor cable and that it is firmly plugged into the computer and that there are no bent pins in the connectors. electricitym . .
The EV700 monitors are noted for their bad flyback transformers. Open the set and check the resistance between the anode (big red wire that goes to top of picture tube) and ground. It should read open circuit (infinate resistance). If ok, then check the capactance between anode and ground. It should read approx 2.75 nano-farads. If below 1 NF or any resistance, its bad. Hope this helps... John
