Hello!
I find myself in a bit of trouble and can't seem to find the solution. I'm using an old system in the sitting room, and it used to work fine - until the monitor became reluctant to start at the same time with the computer. My wife would fiddle with the cable in the back of the computer, and then restart the monitor and it would work again. She's no tech, that's pretty much what she did to make it work at the time. Now it's stopped working for good.
Now - the monitor works; I've tested it (and the VGA cable) with a laptop and another computer, and it works without a hitch. I figured it's the on-board graphics card at fault then, and bought a new internal graphics card, but even connected to that, the monitor tells me "No signal" and then promptly goes back to sleep. It's not a resolution or frequency setting, I reckon, because that wouldn't change by simply fiddling with the cables in the back. As such, I'm stumped as to what can cause this and what I can do to solve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
