RE: New Monitor/Trouble Booting


Well if I was you I would confirm that the screen is working.
I normally have plenty of every thing to perform tests, but really you need
to put that screen on a known good machine, another one.
Machines when they start up do not do any thing fancy, I mean to say that
the BIOS for your desktop or laptop will show at a standard freq, your screen
will defenatly be able to show the first signs of life from your computer.

To recap.
-Take the video cable out of both ends, if you can you might not be able to
do it from the screen it maybe hard wired into your screen right, any hows
check all the pin outs make sure none of them are damaged or pushed in, is it
a dvi cable or standard vga analog?
-Connect the screen to anther machine, if its a fancy assed screen do a
factory reset on it, this should bring it to setting were it will plug and
go, if not check the singal input settings pick whats necessary , Ie if your
not doing bnc input dont do this. To be frank just leave every thing on auto
it should do it all.

Now how about your pc, whats going on with that, is it even giving out a
signal now? is it well prove it connect a nother screen to your pc, if it
comes alive with that screen then I say your new crt is busted, it happends,
if its brand new well now is the time for it to not work, I remember some
thing about the bat tab chart and how goods break during burn in or later
much later in there life time, near the end.

Post back sure we all would be happy to help more.
