Upon powering up, Dell 1704FPT monitor goes to black screen after one second. Ran the self-test, but same problem occurred.
Monitor is hooked up to a Dell XPS desktop via USB port.
Hi my name is Rain.
Ok so that im clear on the problem. your monitor will come on but in a matter of seconds it goes to a black screen?
If this is the problem. The answers you seek will most likely
be in your video card.
Try this test:
If you see the monitors self test screen then your problem indeed is
the video card . You will need to replace the video card inside of the computer.
The floating 'Dell Self-test Feature Check' dialog box should appear on-screen on a black background if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly. While in self-test mode, the power LED remains green. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously scroll through the screen.
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.
This box also appears during normal system operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.- Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable, then turn on both your computer and the monitor.
