LCD 2405FPW + NVidia 6600GT: DVI not working!
I recently purchased the DELL LCD 2405FPW for my computer equipped with a Leadtek A6600GT TDH card. This graphic card has both a VGA and a DVI ports.
The LCD works as expected with the VGA port.
When I connected it for the first time to the DVI port it seemed to work fine. But after a couple of minutes of inactivity the monitor went to power save mode and got stuck in it! The funny part is that if I unplug the DVI cable the LCD would say that there is no DVI signal. And if plug it back it will go back to power save mode a few seconds after.
I read on the net that some other people had the same problem. But I couldn't find any anwser or fix.
Does anyone have any clue?
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks in advance.

PS: where is the service tag number on this LCD????

I have the same problem here, only my DVI never worked - just always stuck in power-save mode - and I've got a 1905FP + NVidia 6600GT. VGA works, at least.Bigwilly1905

What's the service tag number for the 1905FP? I've looked and can't find it. I can't e-mail for the recover file without it. I downloaded the one from that thread, but it didn't work - maybe there's another one? That thread is pretty old, and maybe it doesn't cover the newer monitors or video cards.

Monitors have no service tags. Provide your order number in place of it.
