Unlock E178FP monitor menu
I don't know what you're referring to, but here is something i think it might be... 1. Power on the monitor. 2. Press and hold the MENU button for at least 15 seconds. 3. Look to see if an UNLOCK icon appears on the screen. 4. Release the MENU button and wait 5 seconds. 5. Press any button on the monitor to test. 6. Turn off the monitor if it is no longer needed.

I have a Dell E178FP
Yes, the power supply, backlights inverter circuits, or worst case will be the lamp assembly could have gone out. You need in-depth troubleshooting if you are going to do component level repair works.
See example of failed DELL's : http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/DELL/
Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/ Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

I want to know about some adventures video games?
Check out Big Fish Games. It is a subscription service but they have all types of games including adventure and hidden object. You can also tryp Pogo since they have both a fee and subscription service. Last, but not least, you can try one of your local computer stores or the electronics section of "big box" stores like Target, Walmart, Kmart, etc.
