I use my dell monitor as a second screen to my laptop for music.Occasionally when left for several minutes untouched the monitor appears to go into stanby mode - i.e. the screen goes blank and the power button indicates `yellow` - my laptop still running as normal. When this occurs I don`t know how to restore the screen. Have tried restarting laptop but this does`nt work. Lefdt everything switched off overnight, started up today ok - monitor working as normal - any ideas ?

I buy and sell these monitors (Dell E17FP) the problem is with the transisters (Q739, Q740, Q759, Q760) they short out and the monitor will just blink on and off. You have to desolder them and test them with a simple battery and light circuit. The reason they blow is because of the dirty solder joints by the transformers. If only on pair of backlights work the problem maybe transisters Q751, Q743. I home this answers your questions.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have finally found out that the back light for the monitor is culprit. Also dell people and confirmed it . They aggred for a replacement. Thanks for the suggestion again.

Press the Menu button on monitor,press the plus button ( + ) on the monitor til it comes to "factory settings" Press the monitor menu button again,press the plus ( + ) to go to "all settings. press the monitor menu button once more and it should fix your problem,it did mine.Power button fades from green to amber like before.

Hello,

The power supply in the unit has died. This is a very common problem with this series of monitor after 2-3 years of use. If you can solder then you should be able to do the repair yourself.
