#DVI RECOVER FILE DRIVER HOW TO#
Instructions on how to recover the DVI port (note: these instructions are copied from Dell Support Forum): Just download this ZIP file and follow the instructions below.

The solution can be found on Dell Support Forum and here is the link.īasically what happened was that my NVidia vedio card messed up with my LCD monitor’s EDID and put the monitor in a permanent DVI Power Save Mode. In this thread it is mentioned that some Dell LCD monitors are experiencing this problem and Dell has come up with a solution. Here is a link on ard Fourm: VX2025WM problems?. I thought to myself that the DVI port on the monitor might get fried.Īfter some googling I found out that some people are having this exact same problem. The funny thing is both computers worked fine on VGA. Since Viewsonic VX2025wm also has a VGA port, I dug out a VGA cable and connected the computers to the monitor via VGA. I tried to reboot both computers but no go. And all of a sudden I got a black screen (on both computers) and the monitor told me “No Input Signal”. I was switching the monitor connection between them yesterday afternoon. I have two desktop computers which are sharing the Viewsonic monitor. I have had it for a few months and the DVI input has been working perfectly untill yesterday. The monitor is a Viewsonic VX2025wm 20.1″ widescreen LCD. I had a big issue with my computers yesterday: the DVI input of my LCD monitor stopped working all of a sudden.
