Luker1982,

All the 2007WFP buttons? List all the software and/or hardware changes made to the system BEFORE this issue arose. List all the troubleshooting steps you have taken.

Everything in the front panel, Source Switch, PIP, Menu, +, -, & Standby

The USB 2.0 Hub Appears to work but i cannot check the inputs because i cannot change them, The monitor is still working and still displays a DVI input with no errors but when you turn the computer on you have to unplug both DVI & Power, plug in power to get it to display the DELL screen and then serach for the last input and then plug in the DVI

Troubleshooting wise no a lot really, pressed all the buttons, and then rocked them a bit, an pulled the power cable in & out

Luker1982,

Do they work if you disconnect the DVI and connect the VGA from your video card?

I disconnected the DVI as you suggested, plugged in the vga, nothing.

Pulled the power out and put it back, dell start up screen, then cycled for inputs, found the vga and displayed, buttons still not working,

Switched the cables back, pulled out power, put it back, scans for inputs, now won't find dvi, goes back to vga and bounces no vga round the screen

Can't use the monitor at all now :(

Buttons still not working, looks like a hardware problem
