Hi there, I recently purchased a Dell s2716dg from Best Buy and have been happily using it for the past 4 months. I use a display port for my input and always have 2 USB ports being used for monitor back lighting and a light up RGB mouse pad. I recently have moved my setup into a different room and have noticed something strange. When I unplug this monitor for a certain period of time (I dont know exactly how long just that I can unplug it and have it act normal for about 10 seconds) when i plug it back in nothing will happen. The monitor wont turn on and non of the buttons are responsive. The monitor will eventually turn on without a problem after a bit of plugging and unplugging the power cord but Ive tried multiple outlets and different ports on my power strip and nothing seems to stop this from happening. Also I've noticed if I have it plugged into my power strip and its not working at all but plugged in moving the power strip back and forth actually turned it on. And a side note once it's on it can be turned on and off without a problem with the power button but as soon as its unplugged for too long it will start to stop being responsive unless I mess with it a bit. My question is basically whether or not this could be a failing monitor or could the power cord just be failing? The PSU is internal so its just a 3 prong connector. And I have plugged it into an outlet just by itself without a pwer strip and my power strip is powering 5 other things without issue so I'm ruling that out. Thank you for any piece of advice.
