Dell E177FPc flat screen monitor

The on/off button won't "click" so monitor won't power on. I was trying to remove the edging but it seems impossible without wrecking it.

If its the standard type of small clicky on/off button( (usually a black dot with silver casing - but you cannot see that unless your screen is dismantled), and its no longer doing the click bit, it's probably just broken inside unfortunatly.

They are very much prone to breaking up inside. If the screen can be taken apart, you may be able to buy a new button off the internet, but they are often 'surface-mounted' buttons now, which makes them very small and hard to resolder to the board again.

If the button can be felt still making a click, you may be able to spray some cleaning spray (such as SERVISOL or WD40) into the switch, as they sometimes just get dirty inside.
(make sure its turned off before spraying anything like that tho as its all highly flammable).

If you are trying to detach the screen edging, they are usually secured by 2 or 4 screws on the rear (sometimes they may be hidden behind the actual base/stand). After that, usea large flat bladed screwdriver (or something like that), to seperate the front & rear casings. The reason for starting at the bottom is that if you slip or the casing is very awkward and starts to crack as you work out how it comes apart, the marks will be hidden from view later :)

Some of the casings click apart easily like this, but others can take some force, and may even snap the small plastic tags inside as it cracks open - but that it up to the fixer if you wish to take that chance. The screws holding it together are usually more than enough anyway.

Dell monitor e177fpc

I sounds like you have the video card set to a resolution that is higher that the E177 can handle. It can only go to 1280 x 1024 resolution. You will need to boot into safe mode in windows and set the resolution lower than that so the monitor can show it correctly.

Got the same problem. Remove the front ring around the screen, to check out the actual switches. Everything seemed normal, but nothing worked... Could it be in the power supplie itself?

I bought a used dell monitor e177fpc when i hook it up to my comp. i get can not support 1280 x 1024 resolution

Try downsizing the resolution, and then try unplugging your adapters. If it's not working still, it's a bug in the drivers, which should be taken to a professional to be looked at.

Power button stuck in off position on Dell Flat screen Monitor

Does the button move at all? What model LCD is it? Most of the time if the monitor does not power up it is the power supply inside the monitor not the button sticking. The power supply can be repaired if that is the problem. Please let me about the movement on the power button and I can help you get back going with your monitor.

Dell 1900f monitor contrast/brightness problem

CLick start/run then type in dxdiag. Go to the display tab and click test dirext3d. There should be an 3d cube that comes up and spins around. After the cube leave cancel everything else and close dxdiag, Your problem should be solved for a pretty long time. If it happens again just follow the steps again.

Dell monitor

Tantong's description is correct -- press on side tabs and pry apart the face while working from the middle of the sides to the top. Once the sides are separated, remove the top, and remove the bottom last.
