No signal monitor

[elisatlof]

Hello, the other day I had to unplug my HDMI cable from my monitor and PC to move some stuff around. Today, when I plug everything back in, I cant get signal on my monitor. I have tried everything, removing graphics card, removing RAM, holding down power for a minute, etc. Nothing works. I really could use some help. Thanks.

Try resting the monitor itself. Remove the monitor cable and power cord for 30 seconds or so, then reconnect.

I have tried this, and I dont think it is a problem with the monitor. At first I thought it was so I borrowed a friends to try and it still doesnt work

It is possible that something in the PC failed in the move.

Here are some general troubleshooting checklists.

Try using the HDMI cable the other direction as in swap the ends. Could also try a different HDMI Cable.

Update, i just opened up the PC to take another look around and noticed a solid yellow light on the top right of my mobo. Its to the right of my RAM slots, but im not sure what that means. On top of that there is a green light all the way on the bottom right, which I presume is a good thing.

These diagnostic LEDs are grouped with the functional area of the motherboard. In this case, the SDRAM slots are indicated. Consult your motherboard manual for the specific LED and the color for the meaning of the LED diagnostic. Different manufacturers use different colors. Yellow indicates an error condition (Asus for example). So you most likely have a problem with the SDRAM memory.

The individual LED diagnostic is usually labeled on the motherboard as well.
