Hi Everyone,
This morning I hit that power button on my monitor and just got a clicking noise. The screen remained black. I unplugged it from the power strip and plugged it directly into a wall socket. I disengaged the video plug from my cpu and reinserted. This did not work. Is there something else I should do?
Does this mean my monitor has to be replaced? It is a Dell 3 years old.
Many thanks,
Nan
hi shadespast,
To confirm the monitor as the problem you might try a different monitor, if you dont have another one maybe you could borrow one just to try it out and see if it works. or you could take the monitor and hook it up to another computer and see it you have the same problem. thats the only way i know how to troubleshoot monitors…..
Shelf Life,
Thanks so much. I did this and found it is a broken monitor.
And guess what? I bought a LG Flatron Slim LCD monitor. How nice this is. If I had known the clarity of letters and numbers was so good I would have done this long ago.
