Shut down my computer aspire e380 then disconnected the monitor from the computer and power to move it. reconnected the monitor turned the computer back on and monitor says no signal.

See if usjng a different hard drive ribbon makes a difference.

Do you mean to say that the image on the screen moves up and down on it's own?

If so, please turn off the computer, disconnect the monitor for 30 seconds and reconnect it. Then turn on your computer and see if the problem persists. Also, it is important to note if the monitor does this even while the computer is booting up, before it gets to the desktop. If possible, try the monitor with a different computer and see if the problem still exists.

I suggest to mess around with the monitor buttons and see if you can disable it from sleeping from there. If not then try enabling it to sleep on your computer settings. A good restart after any changes is always helpful.

do you get the self test screen on the monitor. is so it is not communicating with comp. bad video port most likely

Sounds like you don't have a stable connection. Try shutting down PC, and disconnect the monitor, and reconnect it, and turn PC back on, then turn the monitor on...

Hello,

Shut down the computer and turn off the printer.

Disconnect the printer cable from either the printer or computer.

Unplug the printer's power cord from its power source.

Restart the computer and log onto a desktop.

Shut down the computer again.

Reconnect the computer to the printer.

Plug the printer power cord back in and turn it on.

Once the printer cycles through its power on self check, power the computer back up and log on to a desktop.

The icon should be gone now if you have followed these steps completely and in this order.
