Monitor works on one computer, but not the other

Hi, I had a problem with my monitor - blank screen but the power light was green. I then had it replaced, and set upthe new monitor but have the exact same problem. I've tried a different monitor and that works fine on the computer. But this is what puzzles me - I connected the monitor that doesn't seem to work to another computer and it works fine. Whats causing this? Do I need to update drivers for anything? Thanks

    Yeah, I did read it could be that. Because before I replaced this monitor I changed my graphics card from a radeon x100 to x550. I thought it might be something to do with drivers of these cards.

    Also before when I would move the monitor the screen would go blank, and I'd have to move it around for it to work again. And also when I went to start up the computer I had to take the monitor cable out of the back of the computer and put it back in to get a picture.

    Also, just one question. If it is the video card how come one monitor works on the computer and another one doesn't? I don't really understand.

Some capacitors are bad on the power pack(it is upside down) so when you take the cover off you have to unscrew the board to see the bad caps they are grouped together and usually only a few fail but I have replaced as many as 6 at one time

The problem is not your monitor, but the video card on your computer that it doesn't work on. If the video output on your computer is built in, residing near your keyboard / mouse ports, you can purchase another video card to put into your computer and connect your monitor up to that instead. If it attaches to a separate card inside your computer, just replace it. There are three kinds you can get, AGP, PCI, or PCIe. Make sure you get one that will fit inside your computer.

Hi Cat, You can try removing the data cable of your monitor, the one connecting to the back of the tower/computer. If there are no issues on the monitor, normally you will be getting the power self test which is indicated by three vertical colors on the screen (Red, BLue, Green). If you dont see the power self test, it may be a problem with the monitor. YOu may want to try using a different monitor to isolate issue if available

Monitor displays breifly then goes to blank screen

The power -inverter board probably needs an overhaul.
I redo many of these.
If the screen was pinkish or flickering before it finally got to this point, it is possible that a bulb has gone bad.

Blank monitor

Try unplugging the power cord to your computer tower, click the power button to drain the capacitors in the mother board then plug the power cord back in and try to boot up. Has helped me repair several similar black screen problems. Chuck [email protected]

Green light blinking screen blank

Hi Suzee,

Is the green flashing on the tower or the monitor?

If it is flashing on the monitor, then it might be tht the monitor is not gettign signal from the tower.
To check, disconnect the monitor from the tower and check the monitor. If you get a msg on the screen like no input signal or check video cable, then 99% monitor is fine.

Check for the power supply light at the back of the tower.

Disconnect everything from the computer and then press and hold the power button on the comp for about 30 seconds.

Then connect the cables and check if it is working.
