dell monitor goes into power save mode on startup and will not come back on with keyboard or mouse movement. I tried with laptop and same thing happened. Monitor did work with PC in safe mode. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Need more info, OS on computers, age of monitor. It could be a couple of different issues and of course it could be that the monitor is toast, still need more information.
