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?Welcome to the FORUMS...

An absolutely brilliant idea would be that you tell us something about this computer...

Have a read here..

Get back with the info pleaseIt 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.
