Unpluged VGA cable now no display.

My desktop was working fine, I unplugled the VGA cable and pluged it back in now nothing is displaying on the monitor, I restarted the computer it rebooted, still nothing, I tried pluging another monitor and same result.

I can hear the computer boot, I have a FN function key on my keyboard, if I press that and the power button on the keyboard the computer restarts so I think everything else is working. It's an Asus P4S8-MX motherboard.

This is why it is never a good idea to SCREW in those little crown nuts from your cable to your VGA port. All connections on any PC should remain firmly connected, but unscrewed to prevent damage due to pulling, twisting or removing. All it takes to damage that VGA port is a single push to the wall from the front of your PC. If your VGA pins aren't touching on the board, and if there are no shorts, you can fix your problem by adding a Video card. Otherwise, you will need to de-solder and remove your on-board port completely and try again with the VGA card.

Screen will not load just white lines

Hi,

Does external display work fine? If you have not checked, connect an external display like desktop monitor or a LED TV which has VGA connector to your laptop's vga port. You may have to use some fn keys combination to switch from laptop display to external. If external display works fine then check the display cable connecting laptop motherboard to laptop display. And also check laptop LCD/LED screen. You may have to try another with another screen in such scenario.

Prolems with the power.

Try leaving it off and unplugged for a while then hold power button while pluging back in to reset. Most brands of tv's flash to display trouble code.

LG LCD Monitor won't exit Power Saving Mode

Does your desktop/PC display show anything before the monitor goes into power save mode? If nothing comes up, its possible that you have a loose VGA connection or that your video card/motherboard are defective in some ways. Try using a different monitor.

If the other monitor works fine with your computer, try changing/lowering the screen resolution. If in XP right-click on the desktop and go to Properties, and select the tab for display settings and adjust the resolution. If in Vista/Win7, right-click the desktop and select Screen Resolution/Display Settings and adjust it there. Then check and see if your LG monitor works on it.

If the other monitor also doesn't show any display, most likely the problem is either with your video cable or your PCs video card/motherboard, not the monitor.

Hope that helps. Good luck

Display problem with Dell Inspiron 537

If it displays nothing at all through the boot process it's either the cable or the VGA card. It may be that the computer has gone into hibernate as it was left on overnight. Try pressing and holding the powerr button.
