I got my replacement monitor and it works great, but they never picked up the old one. So, I have a monitor with the incorrect ddc info. Anyone know of way to get the monitor to work. Otherwise I have a 30 inch paper weight.
 
they never picked it up? did you cross ship and give them your credit card? I wouldn't be surprise if there's a 1k charge on it :)
 
Tell your drivers to ignore the DDC info and hardcode the modelines. I bet you can use PowerStrip to do that. Or, read the EDID from your new monitor and just send that EDID to your old one. You do risk corruption by doing that, but it may fix the issue. How did you come to the conclusion the DDC info was corrupted in the first place though?
 
I am sure they included a shipping slip in the package.
They do keep in track of returning items. Not a good idea.
 
No they didn't send a return slip with the package. I even had the Fedex guy check when they delivered it. Only one charge to the card. Its been over a month. Checked my account with Dell and they don't know whats going on either. I figure its the ddc Info becuse the monitor runs through its test just fine and only displays in vga mode. So, I figure there is something wrong with what information its sending to my hardware.
 
I still have the monitor and can't get it to work any higher than vga mode. Anyone have any ideas. The next thing is to contact dell and get a new controller card and replace it. Not even sure they will sell me the part.
