    PSU issue (I think)

    I posted this in the General section but didn't get much response. Hoping this is better... I have had my rig for over a year. It normally runs 24x7 with weekly reboots. We have been having rolling blackouts in my area so I decided to play it safe and unplug my surge protector from the...

    Computer Not Booting Up! Need Help...

    Whoa... I have a very similar problem. Try plugging in the PSU and letting it sit for 15 minutes before you try to boot. My computer wouldn't boot at all after I had had the PSU unplugged for about 3 hours. After 15 minutes of just sitting there plugged in the computer was finally able to...

    Computer seems to have to "charge" before I can power it up after it's been unplugged

    I have had my rig for over a year. It normally runs 24x7 with weekly reboots. We have been having rolling blackouts in my area so I decided to play it safe and unplug my surge protector from the wall. The surge protector has the computer, monitor, speakers and cable modem plugged into it...

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Well received my 3rd replacement of my 2405FPW today and they sent me a refurbished one. At first I was angry but I decided to give it a shot. Luckily this one is near perfect. Excellent backlighting and only one dead pixel in the far corner. I am going to try to get a small break for Dell...

    Dead Pixel Buddy. Works great and no need to install it!

    The day which item ships? The original fubar'd one or the replacement?

    Nope. Expires in 4 days. Actually, does the 21 days begin from the date of first order or from the date I received the replacement monitor?

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Dell sure gave me a hard time when I was trying to get a 2nd replacement. The tech support guy just would not let me exchange it. He said that backlight bleeding is normal. He said if the replacement isn't acceptable then they will have to assume it is "on-premises mishandling" which...

    Here is the link to the returns page on the Dell website: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/en/returns_product I spent about an hour trying to find it a couple days ago and couldn't. Today I spent about 2 minutes and found it right away. Anyone know...

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Ok, you have inspired me to take some pics of mine. Here is the second one I received from Dell. I *thought* I only had one dead pixel and some backlight bleedthrough, but check out the pic! It shows a bunch of stuck pixels as well! The strange thing is I can't see those with my naked eye. I...

    What was your reason for returning them each time? So in dark conditions looking at a black screen you see no unevenness in the black?

    Ugh. I just recevied my 2nd 2405FPW. I returned the first one because it had 3 blue stuck pixels in the upper left hand corner. This one only has 1 dead pixel (I can live with that) but the bottom left hand corner of the monitor has what I consider considerable backlight bleedthrough. For all...

    Help! A8N SLI Deluxe won't post!

    Just an update... I bought another PCI-e video card to test with and the computer started working. I did get a 'CMOS Checksum error' but I figure that is because I was hard booting so many times. I have no idea how the video card was fubar'd. I used a grounding strap and only set the card...
