DVI Input stopped working

My Gericom T920 TFT has been doing sterling service for me for some time, but I rebuilt my SLi PC recently and now the DVI input has stopped working.

I have tried different video cards (known good with other DVI monitors) and also swapped out the cable.

The VGA input still works, but I wonder if I could have done anything to fritz the DVI input just by plugging it into the PC? I have had a bit of search about on google and it seems to come back to EDID. This just seems to be a file in the monitor that tells the plug'n'play what it is.

Is there anything else I can check before I go get another monitor?

Yeah, that's what I thought too. back to Aldi then - it'll be interesting to see how they handle a warranty issue!

I have tried changing anything and everything. I'll get the manual tomorrow and try a 'reset to factory defaults' and if that fixes it.

Well, I took it back to Aldi today and I have to say I am massively impressed. They listened to my story then inspected the receipt, then they got a manager who nipped off to the middle of the store and brought back a 20" widescreen. The manager asked 'As I don't have any square ones, will this do as a replacement? It's the same price!' I didn't think about it for too long
