Re: Dell 2709w No power
Another idea to try. This worked for my monitor.
Just today my monitor of many years decided that it does not want to turn on anymore. The blue led doesn't light up with touch or proximity of a touch, no matter how many times I tried. Feeling sad and unhappy, I tried another monitor and ... figured out that the monitor was the issue.
After reading 5 pages of this thread and frustrated over my helplessness (even after trying to manually reset the board using instruction on post #12), I got upset and furiously plug and unplug the power cord from the monitor. Surprisingly, and a pleasant surprise at that, the blue led glows. After that, the monitor just works without a hitch.
When I unplug the power cord, and plugging it back, it still exhibits the same initial issue. The workaround of furiously plugging and unplugging still works and powering off the monitor by its power button (instead of power cord) doesn't seem to cause any issue.
It looks like the problem only happens when power was cut off from the monitor. Not a problem for me since I only turn off the monitor using the button.
To recap, I did not find the root cause. I just found a work around on the issue I had. Nevertheless, I am pretty happy about it. I hope you guys find this idea helpful.
