"Check Signal Cable" (?screen saver?) appears (and "stays on") with signal wire detached?

If YES = Driver (computer) problem - from 940b user manual:
When prompted by the operating system for the monitor driver, insert the CD-ROM
included with this monitor. Driver installation is slightly different from one operating
system to another. Follow the directions appropriate for the operating system you
have.
Prepare a blank disk and download the driver program file at the Internet web site shown
here.

If NO = Problem with monitor itself. Usually puffed electrolytic(s) on the power supply/inverter board. Or bad CCFL bulb(s). Or ...
