I haven't tried unplugging the monitor's PSU, but cycling the power button on the monitor does nothing to fix it. The monitor still powers on (I get the Acer logo), but then the screen stays black rather than displaying the picture and the status light is amber (the color it displays when the...

Mine didn't :(

I'll give that a shot. Monitor's only DVI/VGA, so I'll need to pick up an adapter, but they're cheap.

Don't have another monitor, another PC, or an alternate video card. Technically it is a completely different card though, unless XFX went to the trouble of fixing the stability of my old card and slapping a new serial number on it. Also difficult to test on alternate equipment anyways since...

For the past few months, my display will occasionally refuse to reestablish a connection to the system after being turned on. Coming from a display-off state (with the system otherwise on), it stays on a black screen until I unplug it from the graphics card and plug it back in. This does not...

I was actually there last night. I was surprised at how well the G700 fit my hand, since it's (numbers-wise) a significantly larger mouse than the G500). I ended up not liking the placement of the three buttons next to the left click button - too hard to figure out which one you were pressing...

I'm looking for a replacement for my G500. It's been wigging out on me from time to time lately, and I think the sensor might be failing. Normally, I'd just get the same thing (this mouse has done me good service for the past 4 years), but I've always thought it was just slightly too big for my...
