Dumb Question: how do I turn OFF my WG D9200 monitor?
#273797 - 01/23/12 05:09 AM


As soon as I plug in my wells gardner display, it shows "no signal"... theres no power switch per se.

So I plugged it through a power strip, hit the OFF button, and the display still stays on? Odd.

Do I have a haunted monitor?

No. A fucked over power strip, perhaps. Or one that has constant power to one or more outlets? Is this a MAME question? OH OH OH, MISTA KOTTA!



Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.

There are so many things that could cause this and there is nowhere near enough information to guess. If the power strip doesn't exhibit the same behaviour with another appliance then the monitor could have a fault or may be miswired.

If it's in the UK then a PAT test might show up a common fault. Otherwise a qualified electrician should be called in as you have a potentially lethal problem.
