To clarify my thinking, how is it I fix this? I was putting additional memory in my PC and when I booted it back up it is stuck in the power save mode. Like others that have posted, it says "click on any button or move the mouse" but this does nothing. Has anyone tried Dell chat room support for advice in solving this problem?
Take the RAM out to be sure that is not causing the issue. If it is then make sure it is seated right and is the right kind and try again. If the video card is not initializing that would cause the monitor to not work.

What if both the monitor and computer are stuck in power saver? There is no way to get to the control panel. Then what?

Make sure the proper input is selected
1: D-SUB for Blue VGA cable
2: DVI-D for White DVI cable
The option selected should be indicated on the power save screen.
If changing the input select and rebooting the computer have no effect an no video from the computer is ever displayed, then the monitor is in need of repair.

I had the same problem and I went to the first button on the monitor to the left(main menu) then with the button to the right (-) I scrolled down to factory reset. I also did the osd setting and I'm not sure what fixed it, but I havn't had the problem sence.

You'll need to troubleshoot a little. SOmething may be broken, but you'll need to find out what. 1: Try the monitor on another computer, see wether it will work on that one. If it doesn't, the monitor's broken and you're probably going to need a new one. 2: If the monitor does work, put it back, but now use another cable to connect it to the PC. If that fixes it, your cable was broken. 3: If not, you could try to switch the graphics card in the PC with another one. Do not attempt that, however, unless you know what you're doing. If you don't, get someone you know to do it for you, or take it to a computer shop. If the PC will boot with another graphics card, the old one is broken. 4: If not, it may be your motherboard that's broken. Repeat step 3 with it. These steps should fix your problem. If not, please post back here. Regards, Yannick.

Does the button move at all? What model LCD is it? Most of the time if the monitor does not power up it is the power supply inside the monitor not the button sticking. The power supply can be repaired if that is the problem. Please let me about the movement on the power button and I can help you get back going with your monitor.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen!! In response to my own question above. My problem was solved when I replaced the Graphics Card. I was on the Dell Chat room for 20 minutes with a technician and finally at the end, she admitted that Dell was aware of this problem, it happens all the time and many times the graphics card needs to be replaced to work. Why she didn't simply suggest that at the outset??!! So, replace the graphics card and see if that helps. Fry's Electronics has them for $50 less a $10 rebate. I hope this helps.
