Hi,

After ATL+tabbing from Windows XP desktop back to a game last night my
monitor flicked into standby mode and now it won't come out. I have rebooted
the machine, put a new monitor in, (works), plugged my original monitor
back, still no joy.

When I turn it on the power light goes green and I hear it click,
(resolution changing sounds), but then it flicks back into standby mode,
(amber light).

I have connected the monitor to another machine, still no joy :(

It's a Gateway, Diamondtron NF VX720 17" flat screen trinatron monitor. I
got it in 2001. It had been working fine, and I'd been ALT+Tabbing several
times just prior to last nights incident.

Any suggestions? It's xmas eve and I want to avoid buying a new monitor if
possible.

Thanks, Aaron.

:( No the monitor does even work it DOS. It doesn't work at all, it's in
perpetual standby mode.

Thanks, Aaron.
 
If you bought it in 2001, it is probably still under warranty. Get moving on
an RMA and get it replaced....free. Go to the Gateway website.
