The first step is to make sure the plug you have the power cord plugged into is supplying power to the monitor. [surge protector? Check the switch or the reset button]. Check for the powered on light, usually in the power on button on many computer monitors. Yellow usually means a bad connection with the computer. So the monitor is actually on, it just appears off because you have a black screen. Check the video cable linkage to the back of the monitor and the computer's graphics card or digital video out.

If when you "power on" the monitor's on light does not light it means that power is not getting to the unit and you could have a bad power cord. If it is of the universal type that unplugs from the unit you can swap out for a new cord to test this [some monitors have external power supplies as part of the cord and this could be the problem]. If swapping it for another works than that was your problem.

Many monitors though have their power cords mounted via chassis clamps to the unit and have internal power supplies and are not end user serviceable.

If power is making it to the unit there are a handful of possibilities. Unfortunately the majority of them, at that point, involve dis-assembly of the unit's outer casing and is not advisable to an untrained end user. A service call would be required at that point.

    Clarification added to the above:

    The type of cord with a power supply inline is NOT universal. The new one you swap out for the other will likely have to be provided by the maker of the unit. [in this case, MAG]

    Sometimes a retail supplier will, if you bring the unit back to them, open another unit to use its power supply to test the unit in the store. If it resolves the problem they might supply you with that one and RMA the broken one back to the maker for replacement.

    Depends on the quality of the retailer and how long ago your purchased it, along with their in store policy on such things.

I have a hp v75 old desktop computer that I brought from my garage, I got everything plugged up, but the monitor wouldn't show anything.. I googled it and I didn't think it would work but I just...

As your monitor had showed up once before, I assume it is still in a good condition. The next time, you were not able to wake up the monitor by pressing the power button on your CPU cabinet, which means, the power supply to the monitor may have been interrupted. To check whether your monitor is working properly, plug it to any direct connection and see if the power button on the monitor is flashing. If this works, get everything plugged up, check all the connections properly and try to run the computer again.

Hope this helps, Mrityunjay.

My monitor will not turn on. I verified that I do have power to the monitor but when I press the power button nothing happens. Also how do I open the monitor case after removing the screws on the back?

I would suggest you leave the idea of opening the monitor for now and do the following checks first:

- Check the power cord if it's properly connected and not loose.
- Use another power cord to make sure it's not the power cord that's faulty

Do not open the monitor, unless you know what you're doing, as this may only deepen the problem.

hope this helps.

It wouldn?t turn on...it would initially show the computer?s contents, then after half a second, it would simply go black...operation light is turned on (green) as if everything works!

Does your computer has multiple monitor support? Please check the slots. If there are 2 monitor attachment slot on your computer try connecting monitor to other slot.

Hope this helps.

Gateway 19inch wide screen, lcd monitor stopped working randomly.

It could be a faulty power cord. Try plugging it in and moving the cord around in the areas where it takes the most movement. Do the same with the data cable to see if you get a response there. If your cables are fine, the problem is most likely hardware in the monitor - in that case you're better off replacing the monitor.

My computer does not start up

hi im josh in cebu phils.may i help you? Friend try to use these solutions i got this in my book.
Dealing with System Startup Problems There's nothing scarier than turning on your computer and finding it doesn't start. What you do next depends on exactly what it is your computer is or is not doing. Let's work through some specific startup problems, and how to proceed in each instance.
Problem: Your Computer Doesn't Start—You Hear No Noises and See No Lights First things first—don't panic!
Now, very calmly, look at the back of your system unit. Is the power cable plugged in to the right connector? Now follow the power cord to the other end. Is it firmly connected to a power outlet? Now check the wall switch. Is it turned on? Now walk to your fuse or circuit-breaker box. Is the fuse good or the circuit breaker set? Now go back to your computer. If it still isn't working, unplug the computer from the power outlet and plug in something that you know works—a lamp or a radio, perhaps. If the appliance doesn't work, you have a bad power outlet. If the appliance does work, you really do have computer problems.
If you're positive that your computer is getting power and that you're turning it on correctly, you probably have a hardware problem. The most likely suspect is the power supply in the system unit. To determine the culprit and fix the problem, however, you'll need to call in professional help at this point. Take your system to a certified repair center and let its technicians get to work.
Problem: Your Computer Doesn't Start, but It Makes the Normal Startup Noises If your system is making noise, at least you know that it's getting power. Because you can rule out a bad power cord, the most common things to look for are poorly connected cables or a nonfunctioning monitor.
Begin by checking your monitor. Is it turned on? Is it plugged into a power outlet? Is the power outlet turned on? Is the monitor connected to the correct port on your system unit? Is the connection solid? Is the connection solid in the back of the monitor? Are the brightness and contrast controls turned up so that you can actually see a picture? If you have a newer monitor, try disconnecting the monitor from the computer (with the monitor turned on); if the monitor is working correctly, you should get a No Signal or Lost Signal message on the screen.
If everything is connected and adjusted properly, you might have a monitor that needs repair. Is the monitor's power light on? If not, your monitor might have power supply problems that need attention from a professional. If your monitor's little green light is on but nothing shows onscreen, the video card in your system unit might be loose or set up incorrectly. Try swapping monitors with another system; if the new monitor works on your system, your monitor is the problem. If you determine that your monitor is working fine, you should check your video card to make sure it's installed, seated, and connected properly. If that doesn't fix your problem, try plugging your video card into a different slot.
It's also possible that your keyboard isn't plugged in properly, or that you have some other internal problem that causes your system to halt during start-up. Check all your connections before you try rebooting. good luck hope i helped you.

HP desktop monitor problem

hi try this ,,,
  1. Ensure the video cable is connected (and connected to the correct video port).
  2. Turn off the monitor using the monitor's power button and then restart the monitor.
  3. Cycle the power on the monitor as follows:
  4. Turn off the monitor. The power light on the monitor should be off. Leave the computer turned on.
  5. Unplug the power cord.
  6. Wait 5 seconds.
  7. Plug in the power cord.
  8. Press the power button on the monitor to turn on the monitor. One of two things happens:
    1. The image from the computer displays on the monitor and you can use the computer again. This indicates that the monitor was unable to detect that the computer had awakened from suspend mode. Turn the monitor off when it is not being used or disable suspend mode. For some computers, updating the BIOS corrects these types of suspend problems.
    2. The power light on the monitor comes on but the screen displays one of the messages again. The monitor is not receiving a video signal from the computer that it can detect and use. Continue using these steps to adjust the Windows display resolution to the Monitor's native (default) resolution
    3. Connect the monitor to another computer that you know is working to determine if the monitor should be serviced or replaced:
      • If the monitor displays an image from another computer, you know that the monitor works. Troubleshoot the video connection and graphics adapter on the computer.
      • If the monitor remain blank when connected to another computer, the monitor signal processing hardware may be bad. The monitor should be repaired or replaced.
      hope it will work for u .. little_angel

No Power

There is a whole lot the typical user can check but here is the list: -Disconnect the power plug from the power strip and plug directly into a tested wall socket. Sometimes the power strip sockets go bad. -Try another working power cord. -When you plug in the power cord do any of the monitor LEDs com on?
