Re: Faulty Dell ST2210

Can you expand on "Just shut off" - could mean almost anything

Re: Faulty Dell ST2210

well, it literally just shuts off, I turn it on, the self check thing comes up, 10 seconds later, it goes off, clicking the power does not do anything, I have to unplug the main power a wait a little before I can power it back up again :/

It is connected to running PC?

Re: Faulty Dell ST2210

Re: Faulty Dell ST2210

Some monitors dont stay on without a source.

EDIT - would also be useful to know if the pC recognised it correctly

Re: Faulty Dell ST2210

it's supposed to stay on without a pc connected to it, there's the self test "box" that floats around.

also, I dont think I can get enough time to plug it into a pc, it shuts off so quick

?? You have it connected to a pc before you switch it on



See post 24.

Also did you try again with your old monitor lamps

Re: Faulty Dell ST2210

Dell monitors will usually show the floating box unless connected to a video port and the computer is off. The cable senses that it is connected which disables the "self test" floater and goes straight into standby. If you've got a cable connected to the display try disconnecting it.

Sorry, I might have been slightly sleepy when I wrote that :P

Yeah, I'll do another test with the old lamps

Nope, just the power cable.

Hello,

I've got ST2210B monitor and just wanted to inspect PCBs, but have no idea how to open up the casing. All I can see - it consists of 3 "layers", so I presume there are clips somewhere there. How to start ?

Cheers
