Press the "MENU" button on the monitor to turn it on or off. If that doesn;t work, press the AUTO button, let it reset and then press again to exit.

Good Luck

Hello,

check the back of the monitor, you will see a wire connecting from the monitor to the CPU. Make sure the wire is is firmly connected to the CPU. That wire is called VGA cord and that's what makes the CPU display on the monitor.

It is possible that the wire is shaking and that might be what's making it loose contact and can cause the screen to flash.

Let me know what happens when firmly connect the VGA cord/wire.

Good luck.

Typically it depends on the monitor and the connectors on the back of said monitor. Most model monitors that came out within the past 3-5 years have a usb port, hdmi, D-sub, DVI, or just a basic Analog connector. If you can identify the Connection on the back of your monitor and a video connector on your compaq machine as well I can Recommend a specific adapter for you. Also check out some electronic websites for further help.

Try another monitor.

If you are getting blue cast on the whole screen, you should check the video cable pins and make sure they are properly seated, also try it with another PC to make sure it is not video card problem.

Monitor is not recognizing the resolution settings that are currently set on the computer.
It is probably sett too high.
You will have to lower the computer resolution.
If it is a laptop, you should be able to do this using the laptops screen.
If it is a desktop computer, you either have to use a different screen to reset the resolution.
or
Sometimes restarting the computer while the screen is on will reset the video.
If that doesn't work, try starting the computer in safe mode by tapping the F8 key while it is being started. This will keep the resolution low enough to see it on the monitor and you can adjust the resolution there in the display properties

On this monitor, you should find a spot to plug in on the back of it.

Hello, and thanks for using FixYa.

The problem is most likely the powersupply, a few capacitors are most likely bulky - faulty, it is easy to spot them their sufrace is not flat and they do not work as they should anymore. They are generally 10Volts to 25Volts with uf ratings going from 100 to 1500. Replace the caps with new, matching value capacitors.


Picture of a GOOD capacitor. a BAD capacitors surface will be bent, bulky, or it might even be blown or leaky. But since your monitor works they are most likely just bulky.


Those capacitors need to be replaced to get the monitor to work properly, another way to solve the problem would be to replace the whole powersupply.

As long as this is the only fault your monitor has, it will be solved by what I've posted.

Please let me know if you require further assistance or if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Ekse

The computer can not see the Operating System. This can be caused by several things, so I will just list a few possiblities for you here:

If you have a USB flash drive or external HD plugged into the PC. Remove it while the computer boots. Some machines are set to boot from a flash drive and will search for an operating system on it and display NO OS if the bios can not find one.

If the Hard drive has been removed or replaced recently then the Jumper settings may not be correct on the new drive.

If the computer was having trouble booting periodically, freezing or experiencing blue screens before this message, then you may have HD corruption or possible disk failure. With HD corruption you only need to run chkdisk /p within recovery console in XP or run the Vista recovery center with vista. HD failure is a dead disk, no option but to replace.

Bad RAM or a dead CMOS battery can also cause this type of failure. So check these also.

This can also be caused by a damaged master boot record or primary boot partition. Run fixboot or fixmbr from the recovery console on XP or just run the Vista Boot Repair Console in Vista

Worm Viruses and Rootkits that damage the primary boot sector or the Master Boot Record can also cause the OS to mysteriously disappear. So if none of the above sound like they are for you, then you can try looking for one of these on the affected drive.


Hope this helps,

check if its pluged to the power. and if it is, check if the switch board is working correctly by pluging in another device.move the wires around a little bit, and if still it dosn,t work then your monitor is broken.. get it checked by a technician.

Have you changed the default screen resolution.
Flat screen monitors are meant to work only on the default resolution. If you change it, then you can get problems like you are having

Hi ukesmew

Your Cpu temp. might be high. Try placing it in a well ventilated surface also try different video card drivers. That may fix your problem

Hopefully it helps

Sounds like something has been spilt on the button and has shorted it out, or maybe it has just got stuck in .
See if you can use a very thin blade or needle to pop the button out fully.
Someone may have pressed the button with something sticky.
If this is no help, just write back and we can try something else

Common problems for a black sceen of a LCD type monitor is failure of the inverter that drives the thin flourescent back lights.

Take a bright light and shine into the screen to see if you can see any image there, albeit faint. If you can, the inverter is probably bad. The Inverter is replaced as a unit and is usually right below the screen inside the monitor on a narrow circuit board with a small transformer and a few other components. It generates about 1200 volts to power the flourescent backlights which are tiny long glass tubes.

Other possibilities include failure of the video signals. Try another monitor to verify the signals are good.

Your PC video resolution is too high for the monitor to display.

sounds like you have to set the monitor resolution using your computer. right click desktop... graphics options. or Properties. look for Resolution slider. Move it around. press apply. see what happens. if it now fits but is fuzzy. change the refresh rate eg. 60 Hz or 75 Hz. On the monitor itself there is typically a button that allows you to move the image to fit the screen, quite often these settings are inadvertently played with by children ect. look for buttons/ menu's on your monitor itself. play with the settings .
