Dell 2005FPW monitor flashes red green blue and white full screens every two secs

[rp2000]

Dell 2005FPW monitor flashes red, green, blue and white full screens every two seconds. Tried to factory reset the monitor but the front faceplate buttons for reset does not work. How can I do a factory reset manually without using the faceplate buttons.

Have you got a known working source connected - this could be one of dells selftest screens instead of displaying "NO Signal"


Is this a new to you monitor did it have any faults before.

What does the power light do

The monitor is connected to my desktop. I have been using this monitor since last 5 years.
The power button is lit all the time till I power off the monitor. The rest button does nothing when pressed.

Can you try another cable or try on another pc or laptop.

Do you have another monitor you can use to test the pc/card/cable

Failing that you will need to open it up and let us see the inside

Starting to wonder if something's wrong with the reset switch itself. Maybe stuck closed?

Thanks, Checked the reset switch/button and it is fine.

You can try accessing the service menu:

1) Turn off the power switch at the front side of the display.
2) Wait for about 5 seconds and press MENU, PLUS, POWER key.

Problem Solved.

One of the 470uf 16v capacitor had cold solder.
Re-soldered and the monitor works fine.

Well done - I think I would have probably replaced all the middle range caps as they appear to be samyoung samwha and the like.
