Monitor goes blank but is still connected

DCL9A monitor goes blank but the light stays on. Monitor connected to a dual port VC and other monitor stays on. Switching ports does not correct problem. Installed monitor on another computer and problem duplicated. I can go into NVIDIA settings and as soon as I click on the tray icon, the monitor comes on for awhile an then goes blank. Turning off the monitor and then turning it on brings it up but only for a short while.

With dual monitors, sometimes the secondary monitor becomes monitor #1 instead of staying monitor #2, and no amount of telling my laptop that its OWN monitor is the primary monitor seems to switch it BACK...

using the Fn+F4 key? that?
this lap top, not really a dual monitor system
the rear VGA jack is used for presentations, like a projection system.
what are you doing with this laptop, what is the reason for 2?
my key (above) GOES
Internal
external
both
and
AUTO. so turn off AUTO
which I know what application this is for, the end goal or job.
computers have vast usage, (my bag, for 36 years just PC)
even 10 monitors on one PC ive done.
and more.

all kinds of problems, doing WHAT?
tell how the monitors are connected, in detail even there model numbers.
are you using custom or special connections to the monitors?
this pc has just one VGA rear port jack
and TV-Out (S-video)
came new with VISTA OS.

When you push the power button on the monitor the green light comes on for a few seconds then goes to yellow. Any ideas? It is a Dell e773c connected to a HP Pavillon 700

Hi,

Please check the vga connection cable. It may not connected to the computer. If you have dual monitor support (2 monitor connection on the PC) try other vga port.

Monitor goes blank.

Did you swap the monitors to see if the problem follows or stays at the same video output port since you have dual monitors set up? Need verify before opening up the monitor.

Completley blank screen on boot up

you didnt mention the brand of the screen. this may be a input issiue if it has DVI and Svga and so on. check the menu to see if the monitor can be shifted to the other source. take the cable off and make sure no pins are loose or bent. then put cable back on. if you have another monitor try this cable on the other monitor and verify this cable is working. if it is may be the monitor. does the monitor work on different computer? if so check the back side of the computer, if desk top there may be another input for another VGA. some people overlook the port 2 where they can have dual screens. and only 1 is used for boot up info. try connecting to the other port if so. if the other port is DVI then hopefully you have a dual cord if not Ebay can get you a converter for 5-8 bucks. If you are luck enough to have a card with dual ports on the card generally only one port will work unitl you plug in the second monitor then reboot.

My dcl9a monitor goes black

How long has your computer been on when this happens? Does the power indicator light on the monitor change color when this happens? Also, if you jiggle the mouse or press a key on the keyboard, does the monitor display come back on?

Turn on the monitor the screen says "out of range" in a small window and turns off

Lower down resoluction and color quality to minimum on your pc, using 'display properties' in Windows. Connect the monitor back to pc with minimal settings. If it works is done.
If it still does not work there is a major problem with the monitor. In this case It should be opened and tested inside following schematics. In this case you may need to take the monitor to a service in your area.
