Hi all!
I have a (ca. 3 year old) Dell TFT that has a weird defect. It is usually turned on most of the time, and a while ago the screen would not come back on from standby. Also the LED in the power button would not change back to green from yellow. The weirdest thing: It would not turn off anymore using the power button, or react at all. Backlight stayed off.
So I left it for a few days or so unplugged, and then tried it again for some reason, and it worked perfectly, but only for a few hours or so, the it was broken again.
I have done this a few times now, it works for a while after left unplugged from power for a day or so, but then goes back to not reacting at all.
I thought maybe something specific is broken that I could replace, if anyone can make a diagnosis...
Cheers,
Lynx
