Why not go to Dell service center?
They might fix it for you this time around. Now that it's out of warranty, they are going to charge you for the repairs. Money is a great motivatorWhen Dell failed to provide good monitor in warranty period, do you think they will ever touch the monitor (as soon as they come to know it's history from Product Code)?

Dell won't service out of warranty monitors.
I too have the same monitor which would power off after 10 minutes.
The dell service guy said that dell does not repair monitors. They just replace them if its under warranty.
So checked with a friend who repairs TV's and it seemed to be motherboard circuit issue.
Got it repaired at Lamington for a high 2.5k since it was out of production and spares were not available.
Repaired it 3-4 months back.
Yes, now works perfectly.
Although it flickers while startup for 4-5 minutes and gets stable.
I did not approach a specific monitor repairing shop.
I have been dealing with New Link Infotech(Computer shop) for quite a long time.
I find them trustworthy.
I am sure New Link did charge me a margin for the repairs. He made a quote before starting repairs.
I would suggest ask for the faulty part number and check for its price in the market.
I was short of time and had to skip this part.
Yes.2.5k is very high for a 4 year old monitor bought for 9k.
But the entire motherboard had to be changed.
What would be leftover is only the led panel.
So I thought it made sense over buying a new one at 10k+
And i wanted the monitor badly then for some exams and hence did not research much.
1 day for repairing was enough.
In your case, i think its the panel that has gone kaput.
Any idea about panel replacement charges? (I read it almost equal to new one)
If going by scenarios in TV, it would be nearly 80% of price of new one. So yes its almost equal to new one.
