ive had my dell 2405fpw since its release in 2005 and has been the longest ive had a monitor and it has been rock solid till now. i use the vga port for my regular use linux based pc, and dvi for my gaming rig. as of today i cant switch from vga to dvi. or any of the other connections (s-video,composite and component) dont suppose anyone knows of a fix? i need my dosage of gaming:/
Do the other panel buttons work? Shot in the dark but have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?
no I tried that but didn't work, but I found some one who had a 2405 with a smashed screen, I asked him for the board with the buttons and I replaced mine and it's working ok for now
Excellent, I wasn't holding out much hope for your original hardware, glad you were able to make a working device out of two broken ones.
