Weird characters on monitor, cannot log-in




By gdeluca17 on Nov 18, 2008

" "
My monitor is a Soyo 19'' TFT LCD Monitor MT-NI-DYLM1986 without speakers, certified for Windows Vista, bought from OfficeMax.
My pc is a Systemax Ascent Windows XP Professional SP2, x86 AMD 2GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive space.
My system froze several times while watching youtube videos or google videos. Had to reboot, now the monitor is showing three lines of weird characters on the initial page. I hooked-up my old pc to the monitor and the characters are still there.

- I forgot to mention that I was getting a "no signal input" message from day one. Being the novice that I am I didn't think it was a big deal. It would go away as I moved the mouse.

Nothing happens when I press the menu button.

- There is no boot sequence. I cannot access safe mode.

I really appreciate your help, but I think I will just send it in for repair.

Well, either the monitor is messed up and trying to display a message like "No Signal" or the monitor is set for a different language.

What happens when you press the menu button on the monitor? Change you make changes?

- If your seeing some sort of Windows screen with weird characters, you may have corrupted fonts.

Is there any boot sequence visible when the computer starts up?

What about going into Safe Mode, by pressing F8 during boot?
