    Just tried it. The monitor won't work on the other PC neither.

    I wonder if there is some sort of reset.

    Wtf. That's really strange.

    Once I moved the monitor back to my desk (ouch my back), I pressed the power button and held it in for like 15 seconds. The monitor then made a big hum sound similar to a degause but the problem still persisted. I then pressed and held the power button for more like 40 seconds and then I hear a small click.

    The yellow LED turns green and voila! The screen lights up!

    I have no idea what just happend here. It's just strange.

    Perhaps that was just Samsung's way of celebrating your anniversary .

    Well, whatever works, eh?

    Next time I have a problem, the first thing that I try will be stubbornly holding down the button and willing the SOB to work...

    Yeah that must be it. The anniversary.

    I still don't get it.

    Anyway, thanks for being there, clocker. I thought I was going nuts there for a while. Anyway, i'm stepping out for some lunch and some errands. Back later.

    Have a beer on me, bring the bottle back home and smash it over that recalcitrant bastard's ivory head.
    Teach it who's boss around here.

    Spare the rod and spoil the monitor...
