Flat Panel LCD Monitor

I have a 17" Dell SL1 Flat Panel LCD Monitor that displays just fine when I turn it on for maybe 1 second and then blanks out. I know it's the monitor because I've connected an Optiquest to the computer and it works just fine. Has anyone else seen this with Dell monitors and what can I do to fix it short of sending it in (cost prohibitive) or throwing it out (don't want it in a landfill)?

Thanks in advance.

You can replace the backlight and/or inverter for not too much money if you're handy with tools. I wouldn't bother trying to get a shop to fix it, that will cost more than a new one.
