I've been given a tft monitor which i've been told doesn't work properly.
The screen powers up and i get a message flashing up saying cable not connected.
so i connect the cable, D-SUB, and i get the message no signal.
So the screen actually works but i just can' get a picture. Is this likely to be a fault cable or something else. I haven't checked the cable or tried another cable yet, but i will do tomorrow.
Edit: haha brilliant i just tried it with desktop and all is fine it works!
Reason for my post, the monitor was offered by someone on the freecycle network as follows:
15" flat screen monitor, silver in colour.
It does not appear to be working but anyone with some technical
tinkering knowledge and ability is welcome to take it to try and get
it working again.
Can be collected from Shirley.
Was told it had the no signal error - they said they got a new monitor which works fine so i thought maybe the cable. But i'm using the cable they gave me and it worked first time lol nice freebeeeeeeee
