2408WFP, solid green light, no image, can't turn off

Question

Hi. This just happened to all THREE of my Dell 2408WFP monitors. I unplugged them all as was building a new computer. Cleaned them, and now all three as soon as I plug the cord in the power light goes solid green, and thats it - blank screen, cant turn off, buttons do nothing.

Ive had these monitors for a few years now and theyve been great. And its great to have them all the same. But now it appears they are all dead ? I cant believe that my cleaning them would all of a sudden kill them all at the same time ?

Did you find a solution for your problem ? Your post is the only one I can find that its the same symptoms : no powerup at all by the montior except for the solid green light. Please help!

Thank you

Robert

* Disconnect every cable including the power cable from each 2408WFP
* Press and hold in the 2408WFP power button for 10 seconds
* Connect only the power cable to each 2408WFP
* Now, run the 2408WFP STFC (Self-Test Feature Check) on all three. Does the image appear as shown on page 37? If not, they are defective. If the image does appear, continue
* Turn all three off
* Test them one at a time on the computer
