- ty ive tried it on another machine but its still doing the same thing someone told me to re-install the drivers so i tried that but still no luck any more advice please
If it's going into powersave mode, it usually means it's not getting a signal from the video card. Try plugging this monitor into another machine or laptop and you should be able to tell if that's the issue.

- If it didn't work on another machine either, it's not drivers. It's the monitor itself. Almost cheaper to replace than repair these days.
To be sure, if you've got a different monitor available, plug that into you pc, and if that works you know for sure it's a bad monitor.

Viziks, Saw your answer re Dell monitors with screen adjustment window on continuous display. Your solution was to replace the adjustment switches...I could not find the switch matrix board anywhere online. Do you suggest keeping the mini board and replacing the individual switches? mrfixit99@verizon.net

We recently turned on our computer and there is a white horizontal bar on the bottom of the monitor display. There seems to be no way to get rid of this white bar with colored vertical lines thru it. Can this be fixed? Thank you. Al
