Vista - monitor not working with vga

ive just unplugged all my pc cos i was having new floors put down ,

and when ive just set it up again the moniters not working. The pc is booting up fine

but the screen says no signal then just goes black,

i had the same problem when a pc repair guy came round and used the pc moniter to

connect my laptop, and when he put the vga cable back in the pc tower it was doing the

same as now, but he just did summit and got it working

anyone got any ideas

whats going wrong?

I had a monitor that did that, turned out to be one of the pins in VGA connector was pushed back into the casing. I bodged it up by pulling the pin back with pliers, but changed the cable in the end. I have also seen a monitor with one of the pins bent around and against the metal case, that was also carefully straightened, and worked fine.

Of course your monitor problem may not be anything to do with the above :-(

the pins are all fine

I think you have to go into the monitors menu and set it up for digital input or analog input.

I agree with Barry in that your best option would be to replace the monitor cable, especially as you have had this problem with it before. Just because the pins on the connectors are OK it doesn't mean to say that the wiring in the cable itself is. One or more of the wires may have a break somewhere which can cause this problem, especially if the cable is tightly folded and bound for the sake of cable management.

im not to familiar with the vga cables because its not my computer .i use hdmi for mine

and i was just wondering once the vga is connected both sides should it usually show

on the moniter just without audio ?unlike HDMI

ill try again tomoz see if it works ,if not just buy one

but its only about year old the pc and the vga cable has only been unplugged twice

Does this monitor support both HDMI and analog? If so, I believe you need to set that up in the monitor menu were you also set contract and brightness etc.

no vga and dvi

Just a thought...perhaps the bulb in the monitor has blown out!
