I was given a 1900fp (silver bezel) with no cords and wasn't told it's working state. Connected a new 14v transformer to the monitor and a known working vga cable. The 2 left side input lights light up and search for an imput, the screen brightens barely but stays blank and the power indicator on the right side of the monitor light never lights.
Does this sound like a fixable problem? I am not afraid of taking this panel apart for a repair at home, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Jay
Try swapping the computer power cable and don't connect the vga cable with the system. if you get a power on self test displayed it makes sure that the monitor is fine. if nothing is displayed you can take it for repairs or else call 1-800-624-9896 its Dell technical support number or log on to support.dell.com

I've tried powering it up without the vga cable connected and nothing happens, screen is still blank.
I would really like to try to repair this myself, so sending to a shop and spending alot of money on this monitor is not an option.
