if your pc has built in video port see if that working. try your monitor on anther pc to see if the monitor went bad or the video card or part in your pc.

It seems t be a common windows issue for 12 Plus years. I have one of the unlucky ones who has this happen on every pc i owned.build excluding laptops during this last 12 years. So i just disable the ability for the computer to go in this mode.

i never have had it stick after wards
try pulling the power then remove ing the cmos battery and then pluging in and starting up and then disableing sleep mode

Hi all,
I bought a second hand Dell E151FPP monitor. Hooked it up to a working EZcool computer with MS7309 motherboard and XP software. Result was monitor went straight to standby mode and all buttons on keyboard inoperative. When I removed the Dell monitor and put back the LG monitor it too went to standby.
I hooked the screen up to a working Dell 4600 and it did exactly the same thing.
I hooked it up to a Dell 4500 same result.
To get theE151FPP monitor working I went into screen settings on one of my last computers, ( aToshiba 8100m) and set the resolution as low as possible. It worked.
To fix the Dell 4500 and 4600 I removed the CMOS battery, (dont forget to remove and replace battery jumper) and ram and fired the computer up until it beeped. I then connected the origional monitor, ram and battery and everything was ok.
To fix the EZcool I tried the same process but it didn't work so I removed the two gig video card and put in a low spec video card. The monitor fired up. I then put back the two gig video card and everything was fine.
I can only assume the Dell E151FPP monitor was asking the computers for settings which it was unable to comply with. But who knows I just fix things.
