Monitor Cord I received a new desk and there were no holes for the cords. One cord had to under the desk which caused it to be cut. Now the monitor has lines scrolling up. It's terrible. Is there a way to fix it. I tried electrical tape but that didn't work. Please help....

Does the end of the cord look the same as the one that powers your desk top pc? If it does, you can get one at any electronics parts store.

This monitor uses a power supply not just a cord . You can get one on e-bay very cheat . Just type out 2001fp an choose the person you want to get it from .

try checking the cables for bent or broken pins or just try a new monitor cable.

You will need to disconnect the VGA cord that is connecting the monitor to the hard drive. Once you have that disconnected, try attaching another cord to determine if the cord is the issue. If you dont have another cord to test, then you will have to purchase another one from your local computer parts store and attach to determine if that is the issue you are having.

If the cord does not work, then you will have to take your monitor into a repair shop as there maybe an issue with the receiving port on the monitor.

I hope this was helpful and thanks for asking the experts.

You cannot use a VGA cord to power a monitor. That is the cord that connects the monitor to the computer and is not the power cord. Almost all monitors use the exact same 3 prong power cord. Any computer shop will have a used one on hand.

that means the power cord is faulty, the monitor does no send message to the power cord rather the power cord sends message to the monitor so its the power cord that's bad expecially if its an adaptor, thanks

Change the vga cord of your monitor. red,geen and blue signal from cpu to color monitor pass tru vga cord. if one line is cut for example red line is cut 100% there is no red color in your monitor.

The monitor has and adapter type power cord that plugs into the computer end of the VGA cable. Look for a small round hole at the PC end of the cable.

Try wiggling the Cord on the backside of the monitor.. Not the Power Plug Cord, The Other Cord that attaches to the PC. Do this once the monitor turns off , grab ahold of the cord about 2 inches from the back of the monitor, then bend the cord to the right, keep bending from the right to the left a couple times to see if your screen comes back, if it does, than you have a Loose connection and this sometimes causes the Symptoms you are receiving.. Hope it helps.
