I have to imagine that there is a firmware update for this thing because it keeps shutting off randomly as I am using it. I have two older dell monitors that don't have the issue but this one just keeps popping off.

is there a firmware update for it, how do I check if there is one, how do I do the update if there is.

Thanks in advance!
 


Ok ill give them a shot. just a note for you however, After posting this I went to dell website and found a "driver" for this monitor. upon installing it, the thing has not shut off since. I don't know if this "driver" was a firmware update or not but it seems to be working better regardless so I'm gonna go with it.

still going to post to Dell forums
 


Hey, good luck then. If it keeps working, it may have indeed been either firmware or software that was the issue.
 


so long time later thought id reply anyway...

that update didn't work so I moved on.

I tore the display apart and cleaned all the backlight connections. still cant get it to stay on. something with the backlight is what I'm left to assume but I cant seem to make it work right for very long. its one of those frustrating projects. might just sell on ebay for parts.
