I recall a post about finding Dell monitor service information for download on a Sony Website. You had to specify the manual part number in the Web address. For example, for a Dell P1130 - http://service-asc.sel.sony.com/SonyESI/pdf/99786960.1/manual.pdf Two problems - first finding the manual part number, second, hoping Sony has not password protected that Web site since the word got around about it. The ASCs that pay for a subscription to the Sony literature would not be happy about none-ASCs getting it for free. I would try to get the manual part number from Dell, either from a Web site listing parts and accessories, or from their parts dept. Failing that, check some of the distributor Web sites, like Tritronics or Herman, that list parts by the model numbers and hope they list the model and the service manual as a part. If none of those work, perhaps a Sony ASC would have a list of the Dell models supported by Sony.
