Strange problem Ok i havem my Dell 17" TFT, but the problem is one day i left it on connected to my 360 and when i came back, no longer than 20 minutes, there where millions white lines everywhere going horizontally acroos the whole screen of varying thickness, and the rest of the background was un readable but you can still see some movement if you look carefully. i know its nothing wrong with the cable because i took it out and the no signal box turned into a gray vertical rectangle which movede a little bit every three seconds. i remeber this happening a few months ago but i think it fixed itself. any help would be great appreciated! thnx in advance

Unplug the monitor from the vga , does the osd test come up ,
if not then the circuit is the issue,
if it does then you may have the refresh set too high.

The monitor went dark, seems to have no power.

Totally darken the room your computer is in, and see if you can see a very-dim image on your computer.
If so, it could be the "inverter" part inside the LCD that has failed (about a $20 part, but will take a technician about $50 to $75 to disassemble/replace/reassemble/test).

Try connecting the monitor to a different computer, to see if the monitor is OK.

Dell E173FPc 17" TFT when turned on goes black

Hi Gaz,

First, verify the monitor is functional.
Monitor STFC (Self Test Feature Check)
Turn off the monitor
Plug the monitor power cord directly into the wall socket to remove any surge protectors or APCs from the troubleshooting equation
Unplug the monitor video cable from the back of the computer
Turn on the monitor
The floating dialog box should appear on screen against a black background.
If the issue appears during the STFC, the monitor is defective. What are the results please?

Video cards that can handle two monitors at the same time have cables with two plugs on the monitor end.

If your video cable has two plugs on the monitor end, try the other plug.
