VGA 1 Detecting prob

well why not test it on another system
DT or LT
desk top or laptop.

why connect 2 data cables at once, this is SO wrong.
only 1 at a time.

wow ,, why not test the monitor on any other PC or laptop.
see if its good or bad.?
this is the only way to find this, unless guessing works.

i got lost in your post.
try 2 machines
the post photos of what screen does bad, words never work for telling graphics./

LCD Monitors having multiple inputs have option and option to select and switch between the displays from analog (VGA) or Digital (DVI) inputs. Go to the LCD menu and select input source (DVI)

Hope this helps!

That "red white green and blue" block is a color pattern tester. that means the monitor is on, but is not receiving a signal, so its running tests. If your monitor has Digital input and VGA input, you may just need to switch inputs. Look for 1 or VGA if youre using the blue hook up. look for 2 or digital or dvi if youre using the larger white hook up. Some monitors also have 'auto detect'. If you are in "auto detect' bbut the color box is still there, then your monitor is not receiving video signal from the computer. It could indicate a bad cable or no signal being sent by the machine. If you try another monitor, you can see if the machine is working. I would try a monitor setting for VGA-1 first, since thats most common.

Try updating video drivers to be sure, but once you go over 3 meters, the video signal can degrade, causing a loss in the PnP signal to your monitor. Try setting the resolution manually.

The monitor is not detecting a signal from your video output.
The video circuit may be blown. If it is a plug in card, try re-seating the card in the slot. Make sure your cable is seated good and there are no problems with it. If you have another monitor, you might try it. If the video circuit is part of the mother board you may have to get a new one. If not on maintenance, you could try buying a plug in video card. May have to reset your BIOS settings to let the system know you are switching to a plug in card. Also, your monitor could be having a problem.

Ive seen this on other monitors. Look for a 1 and 2. Some monitors do NOT auto detect a signal, and this one might not. Look for a way to set the monitor from Digital input to VGA input. Try that and see.

i have a few questions
1. what is the problem?
 is it that the monitor is not detecting your signal or vice versa?
***check whether monitor switched on
***if its lcd press auto
***check signal cable
***remove the cmos battery for 10 secs

Jomilshe,
Your monitor not detecting your PC. Check your cable for any damaged pins or changed another cable. Still the same problems...Used another monitor on the same PC. If it OK! Then the other monitor AD board need to be replaced. What's AD board? It's a piece of component that you plugged your VGA or DVI cables to the monitor. Have a nice weekend!

Thank you for providing your configuration details.
You have failed to specify wheather or not your LCD Display is under Warrenty.

Perhaps these simple trouble shooting procedures will get the job done.

1. use the DVI to VGA adaptor that came with your card

Plug in a regular CRT monitor to the Primary Display Output Port using the DVI to VGA adaptor
( either port can be designated as the primary by you )
I like to use the Port nearest to the motherboard as the Primary

2. plug in the your LCD monitor on Secondary Display port using your DVI cable

At this point you should be able to see your desktop on the Primary CRT Display

3. Go to the display properties and use the Nvidia Dual Display Setup Wizard

set both desktops to CLONED at a resolution of 1024x768 and set the refresh to 60Hz
which is default for most LCD displays , some have higher refresh rates , consult your user manuel

If the display resolution and refresh are set incorrectly for your CRT or LCD you will see
Signal Out of Range ( if the display has the ability to display that error message )

At this stage both displays should be showing a Windows Desktop

If you now see your desktop on both displays , you can now put the LCD on the Primary Port



No Signal Detected ( this means the display device is not receiving a signal )

If your LCD display is still displaying the error message
"No Signal Detected" after performing the trouble shooting proceedures
You may need to read the user manuel about how to enable DVI signal input.

If you are certan you have done everything correctly but still see only "No Signal Detected"

Your LCD Display may need replacement
