You need to provide more information about your computer, make, model, OS, etc. and also brand name and size of the monitor. The more information you provide the better. You may want to try a system restore.
The monitor for our old Apple computer went out shortly after we bought it and I had to send it back to Apple to be repaired. They paid for everything. All I had to do was get it shipped to them and go pick it up when it was returned.

Screen would not come out of hibernate about a week ago. Had to turn off manually because screen had only a faint glow. When restarted, screen has vertical lines and won't complete startup. Just goes back to hibernate or faint glow on screen.
Will start in safe mode with networking and have run Avast Virus scan and Malwarebytes scan without finding any errors.
When starting in safe mode screen looks like it's "torn" with verical lines in upper left part of screen and very poor graphics in icons and documents.
Any ideas?
Thanks
