What to do when your Dell U2410 monitor fails to power on

Updated . Posted . Visible to the public.

Dell U2410 screens have a stupid firmware bug where when you manually switch off the monitor and then your computer, the screen will no longer power on when the computer is restarted. In such a case the power button is dead and no longer reacts to input.

In order to fix this:

  • Remove the power cable from the monitor
  • Wait for 10 minutes
  • Replug the power cable

Seriously.
