Hey,
I haven't figured out the solution yet but my Dell monitor has the
Exact same symptoms and guess when it happened? During my last Windows
update! (around Nov 13 or so?). Please let me know if you find anything
out and I will do likewise.
your friend is right you require pal system to run tv properly.
on the back side of your tv there might be switch pal/ntsc
if that system change over switch is not there then you are helpless
good luck.

Umm, it's not the video card - and the blinking light is green.
I've seen postings about transistors going bad inside these monitors . . . is that a possibility?
Thanks for the help!
My monitor was fine, ran a game that I was running yesterday, got a message that it wouldn't load because the screen res wasn't available. Carried on in IE, restarted the PC after a software update and no screen. Power light is amber. Hooked up an analogue monitor to the other io socket and is fine. Unplugged digital monitor and it ran self check. Updated graphics driver from Dell site.I assume monitor is fine but isn't talking to the PC. Tried going back to an earlier system point but it won't complete the process. Any ideas?
