There are two connections for this monitor
1). VGA.
2). DVI (digital).
Which one are you using?.
Could you be more specific on the "video ribbon inside". The more info you give us, the less we have to guess the problem, give us more details of you settings with your computer.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

I am testing the Philips 170b6 with VGA cable (DVI secondly seperate),when I turn on monitor I see a dark screen,power light green. When I connect either or VGA / DVI the screen turns completly white.When I unplugged the VGA cable(or DVI)goes black for few seconds then turns white.None of the OSD front panel buttons seem to function(I hear them click when pushed).
I opened monitor case,checked LCD ribbon cable connection to LCD and video board(reseated)checked caps on video board and inverter board test ok.(?).
Not sure what would cause white screen with no video feed coming in(or with video feed comming in).???
