[AccessD] OT - Monitor Problem

[Paul Hartland]

To all,

a while back I had a Dell monitor which all of a sudden went to just a
black screen as if It went to sleep mode, at the time I was able to get my
hands on another monitor very cheap so plugged it in and no problems, but
kept my old one anyway, just moved to a flat and thought I would see if I
could get the other monitor working but to no avail, when I swiched my pc
on or turn the monitor off and on the screen comes on for a second or two
then off again, the picture looks ok and message saying something about
input, if I use the same cables to connect to the other monitor no
problems, anyone had a similar problem and managed to rectify it, I dont
think it can be a serious problem as screen shows perfectly for a second,
was wondering if it kerpa entering a sleep mode and how to get out of it,
pressing all keys and mouse movements dont wake it when connected.

Thanks on advance for any help.
