DELL Monitor E173FPs flashing green light/Blank Screen

Hi everyone, today I got a DELL Monitor E173FPs, It is a 17" flat screen LCD, The problem is it turns on and flickers, the green button light flashes and the screen is blank with flashing, I also hear a very low noise clicking sound towards the left of the screen when pluged in and the monitor is on, even when I press the off switch or even hold it nothing happens. I opened it and the capatator looks fine, what is the problem? This link is my exact board this Monitor uses.

Thanks
everyone

wow, not one reply, oh well. I guess that sums it up.

Have you assured yourself that it's is indeed receiving a VGA signal from the PC? Assure that your PC is set to properly operate the Dell panel with its VGA signal.

Hi buddy thanks for the reply, problem solved, I used a Dell PSU and it worked, problem was their systems only use their own components you cannot use other makes on dell machines
