Syncmaster SA350 monitor is a 21.5 LED monitor with Odd--Cant update firmware on Sams PS-42C450 Downloaded latest firmware. Hi everyone, I've got a Samsung Syncmaster SA350. Visit Samsung today for Computing Monitors. You'll find product reviews, answers and support information.
I bought a Samsung Syncmaster SA300 and it worked perfectly for a couple months. One day when I turned my system on all I got was the 'check DVI' message. The LED screen was functional, but no signal was showing on the screen.
I trying toggling between VGA and DVI, but this didn't work. I then tried going back to a VGA cable and again toggled between VGA and DVI. No dice.
I've tried DVI and VGA from multiple systems, to rule out a problem with my original graphics card. Same result everywhere.
I hate to chunk a monitor with a good LED screen. What component might have died inside the monitor to cause this to happen?

My monitor is working again. SA300 series monitors manufactured around July 2011 were shipped with bad firmware that causes the problem in my OP.
Updating firmware on the monitor fixes the problem. See 22' 300 Series LED Monitor @ Samsung Support and click LED: Can I Update The Firmware On My SA Series LED Monitor?
You'll need to download a Windows EXE containing the firmware update. The process takes about 3-4 minutes. When the firmware updater completes, the monitor will automatically power down. When you turn it on again it will begin working again.
