Re: Dell 2408WFP wont power on

I'm sorry for a new reply, but there seems to be no edit mode.

With one of Bud's guides I found out how to test a couple voltage regulators, the G1084-18. They provide steady 1.3 volts, which seems to be what they need according to the datasheet. Plugging it in for testing today the monitor powered on - so that's not helping me much in diagnosing :/

Hello,

Over the years my Dell 2408WFP would sometimes go back to sleep mode after claiming there was no video signal. Waiting it out, or CTRL-ALT-DEL in Windows usually fixed it. Not sure if this is related.

Yesterday I plugged the extension cord (holds my pc and monitor) into a watt-meter. That was the first time (that I noticed) that power would not come on at all. No green light, no clicks, nothing. I took it out and plugged it in normally. It came on after a few tries. Then this morning it wouldn't power on again. I tried a different power cable and power outlet....
