Q: 17 inch studio display gone black

I have a 17" Apple Studio Display (Model M7649) which has suddenly gone black. The power light is still on and not blinking and the brightness "button" comes on when pressed but doesn't do anything regarding the screen.

 

The monitor has an ADC power connector and connects to a macbook pro (late 2008 unibody) running mountain lion 10.8.2. The machine still recognises the monitor but, as I said the screen is totally black.

 

Looking around on the web, I'm not sure if the problem is the screen backlight, the inverter or something to do with the ADC brick, so any help would be much appreciated.

 

thanks in advance
