hey guys, a little while ago when i tried to turn on my computer, my TFT monitor wasn't receivng any signal input. So, i fiddled around withthe wires abit but that didnt help, i also switched the socket my monitor was plugged into, also didnt help. So basicly im wondering if something in my moinitors suddenly broken, or its maybe a faulty connection to the video card or if the video card itself has gone bust.
so basicly: The moinitor is receiving power but isnt receivng any input from the computer. I would appreciate any help and/or ideas you guys have thanks in advance, mini. Edit: btw, im on my parents old computer now, and its terribly rubbish  but im gonna go plug this monitor in, and hopefully that will tell me if its the computer of the monitor thats the problem.
edit 2: hm, so after using a different monitor and a different wire, socket and adapter, the other monitor couldnt get any input signal. So am i right in thinking that this is pointing towards a broken video card? _______________ [proud owner of talions 200th, 700th,1111th coment AND 1400th , DJK's 3001th coment! , saz's 400th coment! liso's 800th coment!

Open your system and make sure everything is plugged in the right place nice and tight. Find an old PCI video card and see if you get a signal from that. Maybe your vid card is toast. _______________ My car is made of Nerf. This comment was edited by DJ Sith on Nov 13 2006 03:22am. |

Have you shut off the other computer and restarted it? I've had it happen before where the monitor turns on but receives no information, no matter what I try. Restarting the computer fixes it.
And if you're not getting any output to the monitor even when you switch it to a new one, then yeah I would say that's the video card. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.
