VGA I have been having difficulty with my monitor at times I get a VGA no signal on my moniter (while I have been working on something and stepped away for a moment and when I start it up) then there is usually a RGB no signal on my moniter. If I play with the VGA cord (unplugging and replugging) or restart my computer the VGA no signal will go away. However, this issue seems to be increasing....HELP!

Hi Dear Friend,

You have a monitor with in-built VGA Port and you have laptop in-built VGA Port then why you are not using simple VGA cable to both port, Please don't use any other type to Adapter.


Thanks to Visit on Fixya

This is no a monitor problem, you should have problem with your Video Card, or Mother Board if you use the Built In Video, remember that a monitor is blinking while wait VGA signal from computer.

You can check too the VGA Cable to discart...

Unplug power. Unplug VGA cable. Remove back of monitor. (four small Philips headed screws along the bottom rear. Remove screws attaching Monitor to it's base. Carefully, lean the screen away from back of case. Gently unplug 25 pin cable from the screen.
Connect AC power.
Screen should power on Gray to White. Ble light comes on Blue.Flickers then changes to Amber.
Reconnect VGA cable. Monitor should work.
Close up the monitor in reverse order to opening it.
If these steps don't solve your monitor, consider replacing as cost of repairs may shock you.

vga cable or check to see if monitor is pluged in check outlet may be bad '

Try your monitor on another machine - if it is working you have operating system/hard drive/motherboard/memory/heating problems. You must work that out if the monitor is good.

Dear Sir,

After switching your monitor as a TV you have to select input source as TV or DVI by using your monitor remote controller generally monitor set to VGA input.For using it as a TV you have to change the input from VGA to TV or DVI. It think it solves your problem.If you find any difficulty post a comment with more information about the problem,we will glad to assist you

good luck

ok sounds like you have a broken pin on your cable if you look in the end of the cable plug the part thet goes into the box but also check both ends if they are there
failing that take monitor to roof and heave ho away it goes

ask the shop for a replacement cable. it could be broken.

Take the post (power on self test) disconnect vga cable and connect power cable if monitor shows no signal check signal cable massage then monitor is ok fault is in cpu. open it and clean the dust
by vaccum cleaner you will get the display again

Does the led on front of the monitor stay blue or does it become amber ?
If it becomes amber, then you are not getting a signal.
No harm in trying this : You can try to see if it is a contact problem.
With the monitor unplugged.
Use a small paper clip to run in and out of the blue vga plug holes a few times each to make sure they are not plugged or gummed up.
If that doesn't help and you know that your video cord is good, then I am afraid to say that more than likely there is a problem with yor video card.

If it stays blue then the signal is there but the screen isn't fully lighting up, leading to a failing power-inverter board or a bad bulb.
