If it's a 960BF, check the surface mount fuse. Those can go bad and prevent the backlight from coming on while the rest of the display still works.
Also, just to add to the thread. Had one of my 206BWs die. Bad caps in the P/S, so I ordered up some and did an across-the-board replacement on all three of those monitors I have.
Two were made at the same time, and had bulging caps, the third was made a month later, and had a different panel, and the caps were fine.
Replaced them anyway for peace of mind.
