analog 1
« on: November 16, 2006, 06:13:13 PM »
I turned on a computer in our office and the screen was just black so I tried turning it off and then back on.  A message that says "Analog 1" appears for a few seconds and then the screen goes blank.  The same thing happens every time I turn the screen on and off.  Any ideas?

Have a read here..

It is a Dell I believe OT7570.  The screen is flat screen View Sonic VP171b and we're running Windows XP.

The only info I've come up with is that the problem is possibly caused by a faulty connection, have you unplugged/replugged the screen and can you try the screen on another pc :-?

If the screen performs well on another pc then the problem possibly lies with the video card.

Thank you for your replies.  I did disconnect it and hook up another monitor and it works fine, so I guess I'll have to find out what is wrong with this monitor.  Thank you.

You're very welcome Darlene, I'm just sorry I couldn't come up with a more specific response.

Thank you for getting back to us once you'd diagnosed your problem.
