My dell monitor won't come on, it's blank and when you press any of the monitor buttons it says, "in power safe mode press any key on keyboard or move mouse". I have tried pressing every keyboard button and monitor button and it doesn't get out of Power Save Mode. Social Media Support IWork4Dell Dell Support Videos Drivers and Downloads Driver order. I cannot yet find any information on this subject matter, so If I may, I would like to continue where this thread left off.

However I have only a brief amount of time before the satisfaction warranty expires -- just a matter of a few days. The monitor is a newly purchased Dell WFP. It is connected to an ATI Radeon X video card on a Dell Dimension When the monitor is powered off using the power button, it will not turn back on when the power button is pressed again. The monitor's own error message says that it is not connected to a video card.

The only two things that will bring back graphics, is to restart the computer or to disconnect and reconnect the video cable from either the monitor or the video card.

Can't exit Power saving mode [Solved]

I've tried different DVI video cables and power cables; and I even tried a different OS: Vista x86 and x I think the only things I haven't tried are a different video card, a different computer, or replacing the native Windows driver with the one on the supplied CD.

The computer worked absolutely correctly with the Dell WFP monitor it was connected to previously. The problem occurs only with the brand new WFP. If I were to take a guess, I would say that there is a problem with whatever it is inside the monitor that detects a proper video signal. Any assistance you may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated. I am having the same problem with my Dimension E I hooked up the monitor to my lap top and it works fine.

I don't know how to run diagnostics on the computer without being able to see the information on a monitor. So, how would I be able to know if the Dell specific monitor driver is loaded on the Dimension if I can't see what I'm doing? I've got essentially the same problem: We actually got two of these monitors in a recent purchase business and neither works with this laptop, but both work with a different model of ThinkPad.

My "old" external monitor is also a DVI connected Dell, and it works perfectly. Now I actually did, ever so briefly, get video once while VGA connected and coming out of standby, but as soon as the computer did a video reset the monitor went back into power save. Can you connect both a VGA and a DVI cable to your monitors?

If so, I suspect that you are having problems with the Auto input feature. I have an EW with dual inputs and by default it is set to automatically detect a video signal and switch to the appropriate input.

It could be that this feature isn't working correctly for you folks. I also have this issue. I have a Dell XPS with an ATI Radeon x PRO. When it enters sleep mode after 5 or 10 minutes and I come back within an hour or so, it wakes up just fine.

However, when I leave the PC overnight, it does not wake in the morning, and I must power off my PC and power on. Previous to the rev A02 monitor, I had a Dell brand 20 inch FP display, and never had an issue.

I am running WIndows XP Pro, and 8. I have also installed the Dell-provided driver for my monitor. Are these video cards intergrated or not? Sometimes if it's not intergrated, the power supply will not have enough power for the vidro card to operate. Also if these are new laptops, there is a BIOS update that might help out.

I used to have the same problems.

I had to update my BIOS from the Dell site and then customized my power settings. In my case, yes, the video is integrated.

Here's another person with almost the exact same problem. I have a Dell XPS with the ATI Radeon x Pro and a 20 inch dell display. I've had this computer and monitor for 3 years now without this problem. Last week I upgraded to Win 7. Now, I have the won't come out of power save problem with the monitor. Never had the issue before Win 7, but have it now. Nothing other than a hard power off will get the monitor back. I've checked the device drivers for both the monitor and video card and both are up to date.

My problem is like what was described in a previous post - Leave the PC alone for an hour or two and it wakes up fine, but leave it overnight and it's stuck in power save mode.

Same problem for me. I have a Dell which I just did a clean install with Win 7. All the device drivers are "current" and everything else works fine. I have attempted to modify a few of the settings, but the issue is still the same. I think I solved this problem last night. I don't my have my Win 7 computer in front of me, but I can describe generally what I did. Go into Power options. Look at and customize your basic power plan or whichever plan you are currently using.

In there there is an option to set sleep mode to never come on. You then have to go into advanced power options. I think under the sleep section there is an option to allow "hybrid sleep" mode. That is probably still set to yes or on. Turn that off or set it to no can't remember which.

I have a Dell Studio with a HD video adapter that has a similar problem. It happens to me now only on restart.

Eliminating hibernate, powersave, etc. Reported it to dell but have no response over a week. Several people seem to have a problem with the The reported fixes range from an adapter replacement to loading older adapter drivers No clear solution path. I started having this problem about 3 weeks ago. So - I updated the video card driver - and it's gotten worse.
