Two cables are needed, Power and Data signal (VGA). Most monitors take the same type of power cord as computer power supplies. (Some computers will allow you to plug in a slightly modified cable that will power the monitor off the computer's power supply. This cord has similar ends on both sides (with the prongs inside a rubber housing). The only issue with this is it makes the power supply work harder and thus can fail sooner.) Most computer supply shops (online and brick-and-mortar) will have the power cables, if you don't have extra cables hanging around.

You should have get two cords, if you bought the monitor and the cpu, if you just only bought the cpu then you must buy a new cord .
Here you can buy it. POWER CORD
First figure out what output video the computer has. These days it can be VGA, DVI, or HDMI. Then determine what video inputs are on the monitor (same list). Then plug in the desired cable. Many monitors only come with the VGA cable. If you do not have a VGA port on the computer you would need a DVI to VGA adapter to use that cable. Otherwise buy the DVI or HDMI cable. (DVI to HDMI cables exist if you have HDMI but no DVI on the monitor and only DVI on the computer. However, you need to check your video specs closely. A Single link DVI is different than Dual-link DVI and the cables are not interchangeable.)
Once the data and power cords are plugged in, power up the monitor and then the computer. The computer should find the new hardware and install (or ask for a disc to install) the drivers.
unplug monitor power cord wait for 5 minutes then turn computer off and re hook up monitor and computer if the moniter does not come on then yo have a defective video card, but you can test it with another monitor to be sure. normally if the monitor was bad it would say no signal.
are you sure you have the right plug?wite wires are normaly found only on 120v and 347v systems. but if it realy is 240v then black to black, red to wite and yellow/green to green.
hi, hook up your old one and change the refresh rate to 60 or 70 hertz, go 2 display properties, then the settings tab, then advanced,then monitor. and set it as i said. turn off computer after you change settings. hook up the nec, you then should be good 2 go. good luck! and please rate this solution. if you need further help, reply.
Hi,
Try other outlet, check the power cord if it contacted the monitor. If nothing happened, maybe it's factory defect, since it still under warranty, you can still change it.
Thanks
on some tvs you can use the cord that goes from the cpu to the moniter and use the tv like a monitor but for tvs that cant use that cord u need some special cord that hooks the cpu up to the tv like you would hook up a PS2 or some other video game to a tv. If this doesn't work and u want help from other ppl i sugest u specify what tv and pc ur using and if u mean using the tv like a monitor or having the monitor and the tv hooked up to the cpu
You would have got a CD with this moniter..
we ahve install that cd..
and its better to check the cables first which would be the
VGA CORD that is blue in colour which connects your moniter with the tower.
We can check the connections with the moniter for the Tower and then install the cd.
