Dell 17" (E172FP) monitor Item No. 480-11450
Happily using PC, looked away at something, looked back at monitor: blank screen and power button winking off/on. Have checked all connections. Turned everything off, waited and turned back on: NADA. Disconnected and hooked up old CRT 14" which works fine. HELP!

* Turn the monitor off
* Disconnect all monitor cords from the computer
* Disconnect the monitor power cord from the rear of the monitor
* Press and hold the monitor power button in for 5 seconds
* Reconnect the monitor power cord to the rear of the monitor
* Turn the monitor on
* The floating red/green/blue/white dialog box should appear on screen against a black background. If it doesn't appear, the monitor is defective
