So i was sitting there playing poker on my 2001fp and all of the sudden it just goes black. All the cords are connected properly and the computer is working. So now when i turn it on it flashes. Then it turns from a green power bar to orange.
Any ideas as to what the problem is? How can i get this fixed?
Thanks.

Call Dell, tell them it's busted.

Try it with a different PC and cable, and if that shows the monitor is the problem, THEN Call Dell, tell them it's busted.

Is the blink from green to orange continuous at a steady interval?

If so, then that may be the death knell for your display.

If not, then it is probably the signal coming into it.

Shut the system down, unplug power, then unplug and replug both ends of the video cable.

If that doesn't fix it, try the same display with another computer and a different display with this one. Also a different cable if possible.
