And do other monitors work on this Dell?
I have a new Dell Inspiron i3252 which I connected to my 2007 Dell E197FP lcd monitor.
Everything worked well for 1-1/2 months, but a few days ago the lcd began having the following problem:
When I turn the pc on, the Dell logo appears for one second then disappears and I get no image for the nature scene displaying the date/time.
I have to use the lcd's power button to turn the lcd off and on five times before the scene with date/time permanently appears (the previous four times, the scene date/time image appears for one second and disappears). Then I can log on to the pc.
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
