Hello All,
I have a Dell E153FPB monitor, that has a problem. When you plug the power cord in, the screen will not power on. Instead, the back light and green power light will breifly flash. This problem started a few days ago, and I'm not sure of the cause. The monitor is connected to a power strip which is unplugged when the computer is not in use; so I am sure that it has not been caused by a power surge.
I thought the monitor was toast, so I left it unplugged for at least a day. When I plugged it in last night just to 'try it out', it turned on as normal and functioned correctly. When I turned the monitor on this morning, the Windows splash screen appeared, but then the monitor started flashing again.
I attached a video of the monitor that I took on my cellphone, which might help.. (I zipped it because .WMVs are not allowed to be attached)
I have looked at the previous topic, and am not entirely sure if this problem applies to my monitor...

I just wanted to get a 'professional' opinion before I swapped out the fuse, which was the solution in the previous topic.
Thanks in Advanced,
