2407WFPB Card Reader & USB Ports

Question

I'm the new owner of a 2407WFPB monitor.  I'm using it with a Dell XPS 710 system configured as follows:- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, 1066 MHz, 4 MB L2 cache. Memory: 4 GB, 667 MHz dual channel DDR2 SDRAM (4 x 1024) Video card: DUAL SLI 256Mb nVidia GeForce 8600GTS graphics cards OS: Vista Ultimate 32 bit So far, I am pleased with the screen, with one exception.  The card reader and USB 2.0 ports on the side of the monitor are very slow in operation, probably more like USB 1.0.  The USB ports on the PC are all USB 2.0 and I'm using the supplied cable to link between the PC and the monitor.  Any suggestions? Thanks. Jeremy

JeremyB2,

Try this and tell me if it makes a difference.

* Power off the monitor
* Disconnect all cabling from the bottom and/or sides of the monitor (especially the power cord). Disconnecting the power cord releases all circuit latches "resetting" them
* Press and hold the monitor power button down for 5 seconds
* Reconnect only the monitor power cord and either the #1 blue VGA or #2 white DVI (not both)
* Power on the monitor
* The PC should already be on. The monitor should auto sense the #1 blue VGA or #2 white DVI. If it does not, press the Input Select button and change to #1 VGA or #2 DVI

Test the Card Reader and USB ports.

Say Chris,   Thanks for posting that info.  I have a smaller monitor--the 2000WFP.  Does the monitor function as a powered USB hub?  Just so I know for future reference.   Thanks, Price
