black_zs,

Do you have another device to test on the TV components?

Yep, I tested my original xbox (which is connected to the lcd downstairs) over component with the screen and it still says no input. I double checked the 360 cable by switching its setting to tv and plugging it in to the screen via composite. That worked. So the 360 unit and cable are both functioning fine.

Wait. Did I hear that right? The xbox 360 @ 720 actually looked good? Are you serious? Even if it was only momentarily, I am impressed. Maybe you got one of those fancy review builds that Dell sent out to all the press. You know, the ones were the component input doesn't look like total garbage.

I have this issue too....
When I start my ps2 with 2407 before......it cannot detect the signal from my ps2 and I was wondering.....then I plug it to my tv and it's okay....but my 2407 still cannot detect the video signal from my ps2....pls advise....thanks.

Actually....i was wondering that my 2407 cannot detect the component signal from my PS2....when i change it to composite....2407 can show the image from PS2
Chris....pls advise what issue here......i have no idea with it

Its odd how it failed so quickly. One of my friends has an A02 and its component has been working fine for a very long time. Ah well I shall give dell a call in the morning.

Spoke to couple of tech guys who said its not the first call they've had with my issue. Also people have reported the S-Video input failing. I should be getting a replacement tomorrow, though no one could say if it would be a A03 again.

UPDATE

As promised yesterday I would get a replacement screen today. The replacement screen was proper grubby with dirty finger marks. It had some VGA cable connected that looked like someone had used a screw driver to connect the plug as it was mangled. The stand that came with it was scratched to and wonky. BUT.....

Now I have cleaned the screen its as good as new, plus I got a free dvi cable. The screen is a refurbished unit with the A03 firmware. I've run the dead pixel and banding tests and everything is as good as the previous. More importantly component is now working again. Just a shame my BRAND SPANKING NEW unit made only last month was faulty :(

I can't fault the people I spoke to from Dell, very polite and helpful. My only suggestions to Dell would be send out a new screen when one so new goes faulty and for their tech guys to maybe clean the screens up before sending out ;)

Overall I am happy, plus I basically still have my 4yrs warranty left should any other problems arise :)

Cheers

UPDATE 2

I spoke too soon. This replacement it not operating properly at all. At normal res it will freeze within 30 seconds of use. I have to turn it off at the wall and then turn it back on. Then quickly lower the res to use the screen for any length of time. I called Dell and they are saying they have no record of my call to them yesterday, no record of the serial number i gave them from the new screen, no record of this refurbed unit, no record of them sending out a refurb unit. Basically no record of anything, I've now got to wait till tomorrow for a call from a manager to sort this out!

ChrisM can you help please as this is stupid?
