lcd monitor power button light blinking
i bought this dell desktop in jan/feb 05. can't remember the model.
my lcd monitor could not be use suddenly, the power button light keeps blinking. Nothing is wrong with the computer as i could use it with another monitor. i tried using this lcd on another computer and the power button keeps blinking. so i supposed the problem lies with the monitor.
anybody knows what happened to my monitor? is it dead already?
thanks.

bluenemo,
* Turn off the monitor
* Unplug all of the monitor video cables from the back of the computer video card
* Turn on the monitor
* The floating red/green/blue/white dialog box should appear on screen against a black background. What appears on your monitor?
The monitor warranty expired on Jan/Feb 08.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for replying.
I have unplugged all cables and the power button just blinks with nothing on screen. There is no dialog box as you mentioned.

Now I have the same issue.....................how was this ended?
Was the monitor dead and replaced or did it come back to life?
Mine began to blink and after a while with it unpluged overnite, it came backon for a day and then went dark with the blinking light.
So before I replace it..................................could you please share what you did or is it still blinking?
