Dell 2407 Can't get rid of "No S-video input signal" message on screen. How do I get rid of this?

faulty connector... need to call a repair guy to solder a connection.. usually 50 bucks

Well if you have a VGA monitor it definitely wouldn't go into any port but the VGA port.

Have you looked into the Bios or System Setup to make sure nothing in there regarding the VGA port is off?

I think your problem is either the Monitor is bad or the Video Card in the computer is bad. Make sure the vga cable is pushed in good in the computers vga port and that it is in good in the back of the monitor. Also you can look at the end that goes into the computer and see if any of the pin or prongs are bent. If so, that could be the problem. Don't get alarmed if it looks like some of the pins or prongs are missing, that's just the way it is made.

Does your monitor give you a message on the screen that says "No Input Signal"? If so that's a sure sign that maybe the Video Card in the computer is bad or is not pushed in all the way inside the computer if it resides in one of the slots. Try another monitor on the computer and if it gets the No Input Signal message then the video card is definitely bad.

To see if the Monitor is the problem just try it on another computer. If it fails on another computer, then you know the monitor is bad.

Your Dell Monitor does not have a video output. The DVI/HDMI cable needs to run from the DVI-Out of you computer tower directly to the TVs HDMI input, ideally one with a red/white analog audio input next to it, because that cable only provides a video signal. If you don't have a DVI out on your computer, perhaps your TV has a VGA input. If your computer/video card only has one monitor connector, then you can only connect the Monitor OR the TV.

Hello!

For this issue you might reconsider focusing on your CPU Tower, the way you're describing the issue, the monitor losses it connection from the computer, therefore showing the "analog input..." This is a power saving feature of your monitor. This means that the monitor is no longer a signal from your computer. Possible points of failure for this one could be, PSU, memory, motherboard or add on video card if you have one installed, best approach i could suggest is to run diagnostics- if your still able to boot the computer - Try powering up the computer, when you see the Dell logo tap F12 several times until you see some options then look for diagnostics, then run it..(this is for a DELL pc) if it fails then a possible hardware issue, if your pc still have warranty, call in for help.

Good luck!

Hope it helps!

You will have to open it up and inspect the inside for burnt parts, bad caps, bad solder joints. This model is really delicate to take apart, must be real careful not to break the front panel ribbon cable. 2408wfp is almost the same as 2407.

Move mouse or hit any key on the keyboard on the computer or activate video player, then access the OSD to set Audio to “ off ” state.

if that does not work
check in bios if we are getting the same screen
if yes then it`s time to get the monitor replaced

The monitor connected to the system is set to receive video signals from the DVI port on the video card and it is not getting a signal.

Possible Causes:

1. Monitor is connected via VGA (Blue Connector). Fix by using the input select button to select DVI input)
2. The video cable is not connected to the correct port on the system (Or not connected at all)
3. The monitor is on, but the tower is not powering on or failing to complete the Power On Self-Test (POST). It the power LED on the tower is NOT on, or solid or flashing Amber then the tower is not posting. Flashing amber is normally a bad power supply, solid amber is the motherboard.

If you take the cables that are currently connected to video 1 and connect them instead to video 2, select video 2 as the input from the remote and get the no-signal message, there is a problem with either the switching IC (not likely) or the input jacks (more likely). The problem with the input jack may be as simple as a bad solder connection that can be fixed in 5 minutes. Do the test first. If you get no signal, request service. This should be a simple repair.

I have the same monitor and assume you have both analog and digital inputs. In other words, both a DVI and standard analog monitor input. I noticed on mine that there was a "factory reset" on the menu. Have you tried that? What type of video card are you connecting to? DVI? Do you have any adapters or gender changers connected to it?

Let me know.

push the PIP button until it says off
