I have a 24" Dell monitor with built-in USB and SD sockets. Sometimes I have had problems with these not being responsive. This usually comes down to electrical connection.
You should do these in order, also testing for USB port availability at each step . #1 is the monitor powered up? (USB is active only when monitor is switched on with power button on front of bezel) #2 check that the USB cable at both ends is plugged in! (you need electrical connectivity) #3 check that the USB port on the PC can see another device like a memory stick
#4 check your PC's software (drivers must be loaded and the USB port recognized)
Since the USB ports on this monitor are just the powered USB Hub, you should try it with another PC if you know for sure that the USB port of the PC taht is feeding this Powered USB Hub on the monitor are OK, also check the cable.
The USB board replacement for thsi will not be woth it. Also check for 5vdc on PIN1 of the USB port. http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/DELL/Dell%201704FPT/
yes you can use the usb port but let me tell you one thing very clearly there is problem with these ports either they dont recognize your usb or maybe your monitor screen flickers... so use monitor port with a lot of care and i advised you to atlest read the manual before you do anything.
Hi my name is Rain.
Ok so that im clear on the problem. your monitor will come on but in a matter of seconds it goes to a black screen?
If this is the problem. The answers you seek will most likely
be in your video card.
Try this test:
Unplug monitor from the computer.
Turn on monitor .
Look for monitor self test screen.
If you see the monitors self test screen then your problem indeed is
the video card . You will need to replace the video card inside of the computer.
All you have to do is connect the monitor to the CPU using a USB cable in addition to the usual installation ( check the slots available on the monitor for the type of USB cable you need ), then all your USB slots on the monitor will come alive. Its just like a USB extender ( except that this is included in the moniter).
