Hi there,

She's still alive and well.

It concerns me because it hasn't done this before neither do any of our
other NEC monitors so I'm thinking there is a problem.

Also spoke to NEC who also say that the blank screen with green or amber
light is not normal but I need to check that something else isn't causing
this behaviour. So will swap the graphics card on this computer over the
weekend and see if it that, that is causing the problem.

Tim.
