Hi I'm sorry that this is the wrong thread but I couldn't find anywhere more relevant.
I have a desktop and a TV. No monitor. I heard one of my fans going crazy inside like something was laying against it. I turn everything off, open it up. I do my best not to touch anything cause I don't wanna mess it up but I moved some of the wires and then used a cottonbud to clean some of the worst of the dust that had built up inside. I put the panel back on, started it up, and now suddenly my TV can't find a signal with my desktop.
I tried the same cable and TV with my ps4 and it worked fine.
I've done all the usual troubleshooting. Swapped inputs around, turned them on in a different order, stood on one foot while singing the U.S. national anthem. (Sorry for the joke)
The things I keep seeing are "update your drivers" and "change your PCs settings" but I've got no clue how I can do that when I can't *see* what's going on.
If you've read this far, thank you and what do you suggest?
Right now I'm thinking either I have to:
Buy a monitor and see what happens there.
Fix something I may have broke (somehow) internally.
Or (the one I'm dreading) talk to the guy who built the PC but I'd rather not do that.
Thanks for any help in advance!
