I will try that next. Right now, I unplugged the power from the EV910. |
| 37 |
It has been unplugged for a while now. I'm hoping it will reset |
| 38 |
something in the monitor itself. |
| 39 |
|

I'm pretty sure this monitor has EDID but I'm not certain. I looked and |
| 41 |
the EV910 is actually a little newer than the EV700. The EV910 was made |
| 42 |
in 2001 and the EV700 was made in 2000. Pretty old huh? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I really don't want to use this old 17" monitor but I also don't want to |
| 45 |
have to buy a new one either. :/ |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Now to reboot and see if it works. If not, I'll check the BIOS setting |
| 48 |
next. I checked that earlier and I think it is set has you wrote tho. |
| 49 |
I'll make sure tho. |

Thanks. Will write in a bit whether it changes anything. |
