no it does not have speakers sorry

In most cases it means that there is no video feeding in. Have you checked the cables to be sure they are all secure?? have you tried another monitor?(if you can) also maybe check the cable itself as it can be the problem(you can get a new one for $1or so)

Does it do the same if you hook this monitor up to another PC? It can be in the PC setting. Need to narrow down the problem before trying to open up the PC or the monitor for repair. Post back so we can figure out further.

pls dont change the monitor while using..... bcas its an electronic good.... so pl turn off it and turn what ever you want

unplug everything from the computer then reconnect everything help?

Does the PC light light up or does the PC make any kind of sounds at all? If not, it's probably the power supply. Power supplies are not cards though. You can get them about anywhere that carries PC hardware. Be sure you get a power supply that is suitable to the needs of your system.

I have this monitor and it does not need drivers.

If your graphics card supports it use the DVI connection as this gives a better display and the card will normally suggest your best resolution for you.

If you are using the VGA connection you may have to play around a little to find the best resolution that suits you.

If you get an OUT OF RANGE message you are trying to run the monitor at a resolution that it cannot handle and should drop it back down a little.

Normally 1280 x 1024 is pretty good for most people.

Hope this was of use.

Hi,
Double check all cables and connections, make sure they're tight.
Could be the power supply, video card, or the monitor may need replacing.
Hope this helps
Thanks
