have you tried your new monitor in the vga slot alone, if it works then go out and buy a hdmi cable and connect the old monitor to the hdmi and connect the new one to vga
The new monitor does not work when I plug it into VGA alone. It works, it powers on and such, but it will not work when I plug it into VGA for some reason.
Edit- Might I add, it only goes to the "Check Signal Cable" screen, I cannot open up the menu, all I can do is switch it from Analog to Digital.
Paul.... What do you think, i think the monitor itself is faulty...
Has you cpu got an IGP, if so try connecting to that instead
Yeah I must admit its not looking great for the new monitor, if its not working on its own in exactly the same port with the same cable?
Does the new monitor only have a VGA connection on it?
The new monitor has a DVI IN(HDCP) connector, and a RGB IN connection on it.
Thing is, when I connected a VGA cable from my monitor to the DVI-D adapter on my PC, I was able to see my desktop on the second monitor. I'm starting to think the connector on the second monitor is faulty maybe?
Have u considered getting a dvi cable instead?
we are kinda sure that the vga isnt working.
but we cant guarantee that dvi is working, i think dvi is your best bet
what do you say paul..
