| I would apreciate any advice. I bought a Dell E172FP flat screen monitor on ebay 12.50 pounds and it is 17 inch. The seller (who from emails is a young welsh girl, I believe) said that it just stopped working so she is selling it for spares or repair. Anyway I connected it up, and pressed the power switch. This light up and there was a very brief flash of some sort of boot screen or so I think. Then it went back to black. The power switch then continues to flash on and off. According to the downloaded manual it needs to be used with an analog -D video cable wich I am at present awaiting. The thing is only 2 years old and I believe that the problem is possibly just drivers etc. According to the manual trouble shoot it could be that the thing is in power saving mode. I hope you guys don't mind me furthering my knowledge by using you. | |

| I have just been looking into this problem. Looking at different sites, it appears as this is a common fault with these units, which can be repaired but is costly to do so. The LCD screen is actually made by samsung which is of good quality and is not prone to failure. The problem comes with the rest of the power circuits and control boards, of which are made by another company. In your case, it seems as the power invertor, which creates the power for the LCD to work is faulty, which gives you the indications that you are getting. There is no other way of repairing this unit apart from replacing this part, which seems to price in at £75-100. Hope this helps Roadrunner | |

| Thanks roadrunner, at £12.50 I haven't lost much. Pity though the thing hasn't got a mark on it. Anyway I can play around, have it in bits so can learn about it. It is great to have a man who knows, can learn a great deal from you guys. | |
