Question about Dell E171FPb 17" TFT LCD Flat Panel Monitor
I just began having a problem with my monitor. My wife first experienced it, she said a blue screen showed up with a warning to shut off the computer or files could be lost and it also had a time clock that was counting down. Not knowing what to do she let it shut down. The screen went black, the on/off light blinks repeatedly, and the monitor power on/off switch doesn't work. The only way to power down is by unplugging the power cord. I was online with Dell, someone in India, and he could not identify the reason for the flashing green light. While I was chatting with him the monitor returned to normal ops. This morning I woke to the same problem as described. Any ideas on this? Thanks, Trent
Try first unplugging the monitor and the computer from the wall for 12 to 24 hours. If this does not work, hook up another monitor to the puter to see if the problems with the puter or the monitor.

Thanks for info, we tried this earlier didn't work. I'm out shopping for a new monitor now.
I had this exact same problem. Happened once, then went away. Came back the next day, and it never came back again.
I have the exact problem. tried the monitor on 2 other computers. It also does that without the monitor being plugged in.....usually there is a message on the screen or color pattern.Seems to be a power source fault inside the monitor. Cannot seem to take apart this panel.
