The + and - buttons on the front of my 2405FPW monitor do not seem to be working. I have tried everything I can with respect to resetting the monitor as it powers up with no result. The other buttons work, but are pretty useless without the + and - to navigate between menu options.
I would like to fix this myself. Any ideas?
Any idea where I can get a manual that tells me how to crack the thing open, obtain and fit replacement parts?
I am also pursuing an alternative approach:
Many monitors can be controlled by software on the PC usinging a protocol called DCD/DI. Samsungs Magictune is an example. Indeed the panel used by the Del 2405FPW is a Samsung product, but that software only seems to support a limited range of Samsung models. I found an alternative program called WinI2C-DDC and this allows me to control the position and brightness, so I have partial solution. Magictune would give me all of the control of the screen from my PC...I spent a while upgrading my Matrox 450 drivers to no avail.
Anyone know of any other DDC-CI software out there?Any idea where I can get a manual that tells me how to crack the thing open, obtain and fit replacement parts?

More than likely the tact switches inside the unit are bad and have to be replaced. The switches are relitavley cheap $2-$3 each however doing it is another thing.

How do I open the flat screen monitor (Dell 2407WFP) case so I can get at the touch switches?
