Self test feature check stuck on screen

"history dell has/is problems"
this is bogus, pure tripe.

all old monitors are all junk class , no just dell
they all failed every one, for CCFL lamps now dead, even back 2009
2004 + 5 = 2009 the CCFL tubes went dead all did 10/hrs per day used, ALL MAKERS. of MONitors did.
tube life 20,000 hours ,do the math.
not just dell,
2010 is first year of LED backlamps, 6 long years later.first one are wide screens


1: dim CCFL
2; dead
3: works only cold then warm PC fails.
4: intermittant, backlamps'
5: strobes or blinks,
6; only half the screen dead, for those with 2 major CCFL tube banks.

before laying blame like a kid
learn to diagnose the problem ,then, repair it and lat lay blame(1,2,3) if at all. but I blame china !
omg spilled drinks,

I got to laugh here, 5 years old the monitor is dead, well they are dead. all makers on earth did that.

unless a HangerQueen.. means in a box for 5 years not ever used full time.(pilots jokes)

time to upgrade, for sure. and end CCFL horrors for the the reset of our lives.

old monitors , wow old do fail and fail for many reasons.
even the buttons fail, on the front. if drinks splashed there by bratty kids.
bad VGA cable (or what it has)
try unplug it from wall AC for few hours. to reset from past power AC surges.
the if the OSD sticks on the screen for over 1 full minute that means the menu button is failing on the MON.



Red/green/blue/white dialog box against black background

that is part of OSD, OSD means on screen display settings.
and has many sub pages.
all pages time out after 1 min, (see time out OSD too there, and can be changed from 1 to 60secs is common)
some OSD have reset, in that page,
go to OSD see if it has MON factory default setting, and click that and do that.
if the OSD is still hung up, then disconnect the VGA (or what it is ) to the PC. pull this cable
now OSD goes dead, after 1minute max.

if the PC causes this funny event we need to address that in the PC, not the MON.

the 153 was made in 2004, a true relic and trash MON, CCFL sux big time on all monitors until 2010.
no floating screen PHOTO posted by hyjacker robert;

the OSD page 1, shows 3 color balls, and COLOR SETTINGS (this is for color purity)
In OSD turn on Setting Image, to AUTO. or i will fail to sync to the PC settings.

the left button is OSD, right is power.
OSD page on, bottom item is set factory defaults.

this MON is old, and old monitors are DUMBB(sic) the firmware is crude and weak. unline TODAY
best is test the monitor with NO PC connected, to be sure OSD pages all read correctly for sure AUTO
then test the monitor on a known working 2nd PC. oops works now?

the VGA CAN and does fail in not just 1 way. let me tell why
the sync pin is bad. in the cable. or bent pins.
the PS is set to why to high resolution for this old pig monitor as new PCs tend to do.
max is 1024x768@75Hz (or 60Hz) set the PC no higher or it will fail.
The video card in the PC can be bad. sending trash video and or sync to the MON.
or infected PC

one can finds spare parts for this relic monitor on ebay but the monitor has no futures, at all with CCFL inside.
do the tests.
then post screens here (photos) So I can see what you see, see? old monitors , wow old do fail and fail for many reasons. even the buttons fail, on the front. if drinks splashed there by bratty kids. bad VGA cable (or what it has) try unplug it from wall AC for few hours. to reset from past power AC surges. the if the OSD sticks on the screen for over 1 full minute that means the menu button is failing on the MON.
