The monitor will not go on I keep getting the message no vga input signal no dvi input signal monitor going to sleep I tried a new cable it did not work a friend hooked the monitor to his computer and it worked fine. PLEASE help
There is no signal coming from your PC.
excuse some of the solutions as sounding dumb, but we have to explore all possibilities.
Check the power cable going into the computer
Check the power input disconnect switch on the back of the power supply and make sure it is on
If the pc is plugged into a power bar, make sure it is turned on and the breaker isn't tripped
press power on the PC and make sure the lights are coming on.
now for the solutions that may actually help.
disconnect the power from the PC
if the video is on a card, remove and re-seat the video card
hook the power back up, connect the monitor and try again.
the CMOS on the computer may need to be reset.
I hate totally clearing the CMOS, so what I usually do is remove 1 stick of ram and power up. If the system is alive again, power down, put the RAM back in and power back up.
If that doesn't work, turn the system off, put the CMOS jumper to the CLEAR position for 15 seconds, put it back to the Normal position and then power back up.
Basically, if the monitor works on your friends system but not on yours, the the problem is your system, not the monitor (assuming it isn't working fine til it gets into windows...if that's the problem, you have a driver or configuration problem)

The monitor is telling you that it's NOT receiving a signal from the video card connected to your computer. Check the cable that goes from Monitor to Computer. Make sure it's secure. If it's secure, I would recommend you re-seating the video card, just make sure you remove power from the computer and you ground yourself. If you are not comfortable doing this, then I would recommend visiting a local mom and pop computer shop and have the technician take a quick look, should only take about 5 minutes for a decent tech to diagnose the cause.
Hope this info helps!

The symptoms you described is common in fault mobo or VGA card.But VGA doesn,t turn bad so easy.I suggest to change your mobo first.
If you need more help post back!
Thumbs and testimonial are welcome!

If you still have your old monitor plug it back in for a bit and load the drivers for the new monitor (from the disk which came with the new monitor). Right click on your desktop and choose properties and set your display resolution to something like 1024 x 768. Shut down the pc and connect your new monitor to it with the dvi adapter. If it is recognised ok you can then set the resolution from 1024 x 768 to the recommended amount for your new screen. The refresh rate is also important as some lcd screens only work at a certain level. There should be an auto switch on the monitor and if you press this it sets the display to optimum, - or should do.
SOURCE: DVI no input signal......VGA input active.
Are you running an additional Video card? Or are you using the built in one.
You might try cleaning the connector / plugs with acetone from finger polish remover or de=natured alcohol.
Never jam anything on a computer.
If its an add on card, remove it and reboot. Shut down and reinstall card and reboot.
keep me posted please,
