Dell 1704FPT backlight problems
Hey fellas, I've searched for weeks about a solution to my problem. I have owned 3 seperate 1704FPT's. My first worked fine for over 6 months but then it would randomly shut down into powersave mode and no mouse or keyboard activity would wake it up. My 2 replacements since then have shown the same behavior. I have 2 laptops and 2 PC's with XP and 2000. These monitors have basically acted the same way on all of them. I don't know if it's some kind of compatibility with windows or if they are recieving proper wakeup signals. My last resort is to crack it open and fool with the circuitry to prevent the backlight from shutting off at all(which could very well send it to the scrap heap). Anyone experience these problems with dell brand monitors?

Is there any way that you could set the monitor?
Try this: Access the MONITOR menu (usually there is a button on the monitor) and select FACTORY RESET and then ALL SETTINGS.
You may also want to make sure that you have the monitor properly connected to the CPU.
