    Connecting Monitor to PC

    Ok thanks. I would try to enter the BIOS but I can't even access it because they monitor screen is just black- can't do anything at all on it. How simple is it to replace a graphics processor?

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    Ok thanks for the advice. I have tried multiple video cables that work on other PCs yet they won't do the trick in this one.

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    Ok tested video cable and monitor on another PC and works fine. I don't have any other PC though with a DVI port so I can't test the adapter. The adapter is only about 1 month old so should be in good condition.

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    Ok yes did the setup as you said. Monitor is stuck in power save mode. When I press the power button, the little light goes green for half a second then goes back to orange. At the same time the message "in power save mode, press any key on keyboard or move mouse" appears on the screen. Doing...

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    I always thought it was a VGA port but here is a picture of it and I'll leave you to decide what it is since I really know nothing. https://imgur.com/gallery/fVKNZ When I bought the adapter it said it was a VGA to DVI adapter so I'm pretty sure it is a VGA port then I guess....

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    https://imgur.com/gallery/mPg7M Ok have tried to take a better photo of the motherboard- not sure if you just wanted a general overview picture or of something specific. Also took photo of connections on back.

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    Another thing I just noticed- when both monitor and PC are all plugged in and connected and the little light is orange, when I press one of the other buttons on the monitor, it says it's in power save mode and to press a key or move the mouse. However, when I do either of those things nothing...

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    Just tried spare monitor- same problem. Yes both monitors only have the d-sub connector. Took some more pictures- not sure if they are exactly what you want or not: https://imgur.com/gallery/rk7wV Some ID numbers I can see are N12270, MAC 000DFE071E8B

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    The PC only has a DVI or HDMI point port (no VGA) so I need the adapter to connect it at all. When not connecting to the PC and just running one end of the VGA cable into the monitor with nothing on the other end, it doesn't turn off as it otherwise would.

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    Ok thanks I'll give that a try. One other thing I have just noticed is when I have simply connected the monitor to the power and stick the VGA cord into, then connecting the other end of the VGA cable into either my hdmi or dvi adapter, the monitor turns off- all without ever being connected to...

    Connecting Monitor to PC

    Ok, here is the link to the photos of the hardware : https://benobiz.imgur.com/all/ I've got no idea how to open the PC though to see inside. I feel like its a really simple issue though since it was all working a week ago and nothing has changed. Yet I have tried everything I can think of and...
