Hi all!

I have a hardware issue with some of the LCD monitors we have in our office. My problems is not related to video cards or anything else with the computer itself.

I have 2 Dell 17" LCD screens that goes off (blank) after 1 or 2 seconds. The light remains green so it's not idling or sleeping. Just this morning, I had to replace one that goes off on 2 workstations and also on my laptop. Nothing to do with it. I tried the VGA and DVI connection w/out luck.

I strongly think that this is something with a capacitor or something inside the screen but I can't figure out what it is...

Is anybody heard of that kind of issue before?

Regards,

David.
