lcd monitor power button light blinking

10 Jul 2009 12:44AM

i bought this dell desktop in jan/feb 05. can't remember the model.

my lcd monitor could not be use suddenly, the power button light keeps blinking. Nothing is wrong with the computer as i could use it with another monitor. i tried using this lcd on another computer and the power button keeps blinking. so i supposed the problem lies with the monitor. 

anybody knows what happened to my monitor? is it dead already?

thanks.

bluenemo,

* Turn off the monitor
* Unplug all of the monitor video cables from the back of the computer video card
* Turn on the monitor
* The floating red/green/blue/white dialog box should appear on screen against a black background. What appears on your monitor?

The monitor warranty expired on Jan/Feb 08.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for replying.

I have unplugged all cables and the power button just blinks with nothing on screen. There is no dialog box as you mentioned.
