LCD monitor won't come back from standby

[headbanger1802]

Help please!!!

I just bought a Dell dimension 3000 desktop computer with and LCD monitor 2 days ago. I used it, turned it off but I didn't turn off my monitor it went into standby mode I guess. (where the light on the power button turns yellow) Anyways, when I went to use it again the monitor wouldn't come back from standby mode. I have tried unplugging, restarting, resetting BIOS.... I have another computer and I plugged it's monitor into the Dell and it worked fine. Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix it or do I need to have the monitor replaced????

Thanks!

what happens when you plug your dell monitor into your other pc? does it come out of standby on that machine?

No, it stays in standby..

I would say that you need to RMA the monitor.

What does RMA the monitor mean and how do I do it??

RMA = return material authorization. If it's a Dell monitor, contact Dell for a replacement, if you bought it online elsewhere, contact the vendor, if you bought it at a local store, take it back.
