Thanks for joining in - and your useful suggestions.
There is no power LED light on the front of the monitor when connected to
the direct power source - it does not connect to the PSU. Also, there is no
screen activity as when you unplug the monitor from the PC while it's on. I
have tried another tested cable with no positive results.
I suppose this is the end of the line for this monitor as repairs are very
costly and not justified when TFTs are getting cheaper. Pity, though, I hate
to throw things away after only a 2-year spin.
