my 2000FP is dead dead dead (Dallas area)
This flat panel is a couple of years old and out of warrenty.
Last week it wouldn't power down. And now I cant get a picture from the PC to come up at all. Sometimes the Dell/pixelvison logo shows itself as well as the built in screensaver but even that doesnt move around the screen like it normally would. I was running it 1600x1200 via DVI. Damn I'm missing that. Is this thing repairable? Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone know of any place that works on flat panels in the North Dallas area? Thanks! |

First rule of troubleshooting - check the hardware! Make sure the cable connections both to the monitor and the PC are tight and that the video card is fully seated in its slot. If that fails, try using the monitor with the ANALOG cable. You may need to toggle one of the buttons on the front of the monitor to switch from DVI to analog. There is a huge thread on the Dell Forums about DVI corruption on Dell branded FP monitors, although the symptoms described on those threads don't entirely match your description. |

I'm actually with Dell's tech support now talking to one of their Bangalore guys. Ive been transferred three different places. The stupid phone menu is useless. |
