2407WFPb Input Source Select switch is stuck
My monitor is a Dell 2407WFPb
MX-0CC302-46634-68O-2KKS
Rev A03
It failed the STFC.
The input source select switch is not working properly. The monitor is several years old and not under warranty. I have never had any problems with it in the past. Normally, only one of the five indicator lights is lit at a time. Currently, the first light (VGA) remains lit all the time, and the input source select switch cycles a second light between 3 (S-Video), 4 (Composite), and 5 (Component). The DVI-D source (light 2) that I normally use never lights up at all. The monitor still works fine using the Component input source.
So basically it's fine as long as I only need to play XBox on it. I cannot get it to switch back to my computer though.
I'm guessing the the switchboard is faulty. Is it possible to get replacement components like that? It would be a shame to lose a perfectly good monitor due a switch malfunction.

* Power off the monitor
* Disconnect the power cord from the monitor
* While disconnected, press and hold the monitor power button down for 5 seconds
* Reconnect the DVI cord to the monitor and to the PC video card
* Reconnect the power cord to the monitor
* Power on the monitor if it does not power on by itself
* Power on the PC
* Press the monitor Input Source Select button. If the button is still no go, your only option is to take it to a displays technician and disassemble it looking for the cause
