Red lights on viewsonic 2652w

I have a viewsonic 2652w that has no video, only a red light flashing when I turn it on, any ideas??? Thanks

usually if there's a problem other than the power supply, leds on monitors and tvs flash a code sequence. if it's just flashing, most likely it's the power supply. 90% of the time it's bad electrolytic caps, about 7% of the time it's a shorted diode or regulator. the other 3% of the time it's something else shorted. if it's flashing a code sequence, the code sequence is an indication of what is wrong, such as the CPU or backlight inverter, etc...

I thought it was the power supply, just wanted to make sure, now one more question... where can I get parts for this model. Thanks

electrolytic caps and diodes and such are available from a lot of distributors..... B&D, Mouser, MCM are a few.
