Dell 3007 not working

[Clunk]

no, not dell, just some generic thing for resetting the dvi, it didnt work on my viewsonic, but other people had success with it, so its got to be worth a try. does the screen work with just vga? i managed to fix mine the first time by plugging both of the leads into the monitor (dvi + vga at the same time) and cycling a few times.

I have had a new 3007 delivered onto site today and the seller reckons mine wasn't faulty? I am planning on testing with a gen4 XPS unit and will report back.

I think the seller is talking rubbish as ANY monitor should display BIOS information?

New Flat pannel tested! I can see the dell splash screen and the XP flag.... the XPS was a PCIe unit so if my PC doesnt work then I may have to buy a new one.....oh bugger.....I just HATE buying new PC Gear ;o)

[mark_a_scott]

relief! I do not need to buy a new PC, the screen is working great on my home set up, just needs a bit more speed from a quad core and a Geforce 8800.......argh.....

lol glad its working, yeh i would imagine it needs a good card, i have 2 7900GTX's running my 2407. SLi would be a good path to follow

i had some similar problems with mine, taking the power out and putting it back in made it work, you dont need a dual link graphics card to use resolutions of 1280*800 and below on the monitor

thanks mitchy, it is a cracking screen once it works Now I need to look at the rest of my graphics subsystem as my games are stuttering..... Geforce 8800GTX and a Core 2 Quad please ;o)

[mi9tchy]

no problem.
i just sold my 7900gt that didnt cut it at all. just in time for the 8800 series tomorrow hmm i wonder on the prices

thanks chuckskull.

the prices are a little too much for me at the moment maybe in a couple weeks

Back to the 3007, I noticed there is some discolouration in the bottom 3rd especially in Excel, Greys turn to a more muddy gold and gridlines take on a mix of blue and yellow. Cant say ive noticed this in the general usage except some text (outlook particularly) takes on 3 colours (black yellow and blue)

Any ideas?

Also, does anyone have a link to the control software files? I have the INF driver but dont seem to have the software.

The prices of 8800's at europc are a bit more reasonable btw, check the bargain section for a link.
