Monitor "no input signal"

When I turn on the computer and the monitor, the monitor does not recognize a signal from the computer.  I have tried restarting the monitor and the computer, unplugging all cables including the power cables and reconnecting, I re-seated the graphics card, I tried using the VGA cable, but the monitor still seemed to be trying to recognize a DVI connection, even though the VGA cable was plugged in.  Right after I turn on the monitor it says:
   VGA input, no input signal
> DVI input, no input signal
   recommended setting, 1680x1050
After about 2 seconds it goes to sleep and that is it.  No mouse clicks or keyboard strikes bring the monitor back.  I know of no way to change any settings, reinstall drivers, etc. , because I cannot get the monitor to work, so I am effectively blind, whenever I want to test something out I have to manually shut down the computer and turn it on again.  I encountered this problem in the past, and after much frustration and unplugging/re-connecting, the problem seemed to magically solve itself, but now it is back and nothing seems to work.  The frustrating part is that it seems random, this started happening a few days ago when I tried turning on my computer.
the computer is a HP Pavillion d4996t, the monitor is HP w2207

Going to the control panel and turning off the monitor's power saving mode utility fixed this problem for me.  Only four years of putting up with "no input" on an ugly black and white screen before I figured that out!

  • Monitor display no signal input

    my computer turn on but the monitor display no signal input.  I plug my monitor to other computer and the screen shows my icons and everything but when I plug other monitor to my computer it say no signal input. How do I fix my computer to communicate with the monitor.

    When desktop goes blank then there's no more signal from the pc.
    So the monitor says 'NO SIGNAL INPUT'.
    What's the problem?

  • Monitor does not come on due to no input signal. Monitor is hp w2207. Hp media center pc m 260 N.

     Desktop PC is connected correctly but monitor indicates no input signal & monitor goes to sleep mode. All my wireless laptops work ok. Does this have anything to do with wireless setup?

    Although it appears the computer model name is incomplete, I assume you mean a HP Media Center m260n Desktop Computer. Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion w2207 LCD wide-screen flat panel monitor. The computer supports VGA only, unless you have previously installed an 8x AGP graphics card. The monitor supports both VGA and DVI-D.
    The first step in troubleshooting this issue would be to connect the monitor to a known working computer using the same VGA cable. Does the monitor work??? Yes... could be the computer, No... could be the monitor or the cable. Next, connect the computer to another known working monitor with the same VGA cable. Does the monitor display a picture??? Yes, computer is good, No... computer or cable  is bad. Post the results if you need more assistance.

  • No Input Signal to Monitor

    Previously I had may Mac Mini being displayed through my HD Television. I have since moved it into an office. Before moving, I used the Mini DVI adapter and the cable was DVI to HDMI into the television. Now, I am trying to hook it up using the display port adapter to DVI, with an adapter on the DVI part that allows me to use a VGA cable to hook the monitor up. Each time I try and hook it up, the monitor keeps giving me a "No Input Signal" message. Am I losing the signal when I attach the adapter that allows me to use the VGA cable? Never attached an adapter to an adapter, but I know the monitor works because I hooked it to another computer and it works just fine. The VGA cable works just fine too. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Yes, it came with one, but got a display port adapter because both our laptops have the display ports rather than the Mini-DVI ports. Wanted to try and get something that was more usable for each Apple product we have, that way I avoid having to buy more "stuff" specific to each computer. I guess I will have to try and just get a DVI/VGA cable to avoid the adapter issues. Thanks!

  • Input signal out of range with HDMI to VGA adapter LE1901w

    Hi!
    Recently I acquired an LE1901w monitor to use as second screen. I'm trying to connect it to my Toshiba u925 using an HDMI to VGA adapter (because neither the monitor has a HDMI port nor the notebook has a VGA output).
    I'm getting the message "input signal out of range" asking to change to 1440x920 @ 60Hz and it keeps showing until the monitor goes to sleep even when I change the settings as per requested.
    I have an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 and i'm using the default Windows monitor drivers for Windows 8.1
    Any comment will be helpful
    Thanks

    Hello @fbinim,
    I understand that you are getting the message "Input Signal Out Of Range" and it is asking you to change to 1440x920 @ 60 Hz. I suspect this is a driver issue and you will need to ensure that your drivers are up to date on your computer. Just to be sure I would recommend if you could to move the HP LE1901W monitor to another computer and ensure that you do not have the problem there. If you do have it on another computer The issue you are experiencing appears to be a physical issue. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

  • Monitor says - "No Signal"

    My G3 has been connected to a 21" Dell (really a Sony Trinitron CRT flat-screen) for over 6-1/2 years, and worked flawlessly. One day, on start-up, I get a blank screen with a terse message… "NO SIGNAL." (!!) Checked all the connectors, pulled & reseated the video card (an ATI Rage 128 of 16MB, rev. 1- #661-2190, with the extra MPEG-2, DVD decoder- #661-2109); after two days of non-sense, took it to the shop… where it worked flawlessly on THEIR service counter! The battery needed to be changed, and was. Took it home, and it was "s-o-s." "NO SIGNAL."
    Out of desperation, I connected a spare 20" Apple Multi-scan CRT (also a Sony Trinitron), and everything worked… 1-2-3 and we were on the desktop. Over the next two weeks, the Apple Multi-scan never failed to work.
    Thinking that I had a +monitor issue,+ I acquired a Sony 20" TFT flat-screen. Connecting it up, I got the same results… a blank screen with the terse message… "NO SIGNAL !!" Unsavory language followed. Sooooo, I acquired another video card. Inserted it and connected up the flat screen. Again… NO SIGNAL !! The G3 was on the counter four times and worked like there never had been a problem. Even when I took the G3 in with the Sony TFT flat-screen. They said to hold down the Command-Option-P & R keys on start-up. This will bring the flat-screen up, but on start-up later, itz back to business as usual. IF my video card were the problem, the flat-screen would NOT work at all; once up & running, I've made changes to all the monitor settings- to my satisfaction. I've run it for three hours. Re-setting the P-RAM has not changed the blank screen & NO SIGNAL problem.
    So, for now, itz the G3, Multi-scan and me. The flat-screen sits. Appearantly, there seems to be BOTH a hardware and software problem. But I'm leaning more towards the software. However, my brainbox DOES know what monitor is connected to it, viz the DISPLAYS pane.
    WHAT say you– Grand Wizards?

    Hi! and THX for your reply . The Sony TFT LED flat-screen has 2 RGB analog inputs (J15 & J16) and 1 DVI-D (J17); the flat-screen knows which input is connected to the G3. In the downloaded Sony TFT LED Computer Display manual, on page 15 - under the "INPUT SENSING ON/OFF menu," the monitor automatically detects an input signal to an input terminal and changes the input automatically. While there are no specific "switches," there is the menu. Apparently, I can turn off the *automatic sensing* and manually set the input. I haven't "tried"that just yet. When I rise to the chore of moving things all around again, I'll try manually setting the input. However, I doubt that this will have any effect on things.
    Not to throw more dust into the air and further confuse matters, I am begining to suspect my original OS X 10.3 install disk; the one I acquired was for/from a 12" PowerBook G4… @ the time, brilliant me said… "So itz for a 12" PowerBook, so what? Itz Panther, right??" After the original install, there followed 2 updates,the last one being 10.3.9; up until recently, there have been absolutely no glitches on start-up. ALWAYS full-screen… until about a week ago. NOW, the last half dozen start-ups, have been with the reduced screen (the gray "bite-of-the-Apple) for the 12" PowerBook (!!). In any event, I am acquiring a "regular" version of the Panther install disk.
    I find it strange that what triggered this whole mess (apparently) was failure of the PRAM battery. Or perhaps, that was just coincidental? REGARDS.

  • Input signals out of range change settings to 1440x900 - 60Hz

  • No VGA or DVI input signal

    I recently found my old HP Pavilion a6228x after 2 months of not using it, and hooked it up to my  w1907 monitor with a vga cable.  It says that there is no VGA or DVI input signal, with the black arrow pointing at DVI. I can't switch from DVI to VGA because everytime I press the menu button, the screen will say "Monitor going to sleep." The monitor works fine with my laptop and the same vga cable. Help?

    Hi,
    Since the monitor and cable are known to be good then make sure that you are plugging the video card into the video card's VGA port if a a video card is installed.  If the video card has a DVI port then use a native DVI cable between the monitor and the video card.
    If there is a video card in your PC then try reseating it (remove and replace). If that doesn't work then remove the video card and plug the VGA cable into the motherboard's VGA port.
    Only connect one active video feed to the monitor.
    Try a monitor reset. Unplug the monitor’s power cord and hold down the monitor’s power button for 30-60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and power it up.

  • Why am I not getting any input signal into logic X or GarageBand from my audio interface?

    Hello all,
    I'm completely new to all this so I will try my best here to give all the details needed.
    So, I am using a Mac mini (2013 model: i7 overclocked at 2.6, 16 gbram) and a focusrite saffire pro 24DSP. Overall both are in perfect working order.
    My problem, however, is that I am seemingly unable to get any form of signal from my saffire into either Logic X or GarageBand. I am trying to record guitar lined in and I have set all the settings in logic to what I think is right (software monitoring checked, output channels selected, saffire selected for both input and output) and I have set up my saffire mix control - I spent days reading the manual and watching online tutorials.
    The saffire mix control is set up thus:
    Input 1 - instrument
    Daw 1+2 = GarageBand
    Daw 3+4 = Logic X
    Sample rate 41Khz
    Master Output = stereo monitor mix (line outs 1 &2 to my monitor speakers)
    Output 3+4 headphones
    Is there anything missing here?
    As far as this all goes, when I plug in my guitar I can get a very clear "raw" signal from the saffire mix control, but when I then go to set up a track in either DAW and assign the necessary line ins and outs, no matter what I do I cannot get an input signal, not even a partial one (I have the monitoring and record armed options checked btw). I am close to giving tearing my hair out.
    I'm sure I am just missing something out?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    I've plugged into the interface a mic and an electric guitar.
    I'm not sure what I did but the guitar is coming through (though it shows no signal on the interface). Mic input level on line, mic registers a tiny bit of sound when I hit the mic (on only one channel) but doesn't register any vocals when mic input is turned up to the max.
    Odd thing: stereo/mono button reversed that is when the button is pushed in it equals stereo on the head phones when it says it should be mono and when the button is left unpushed it equals mono when it says it should be stereo.
    Monitor is on and volume is at max.
    GB system preferences don't list Input 1 or/and 2. Where do I find them?
    I've tried everything I can think of. It feels as if I just need to find the right switch but I don't know where to look...

  • No input signal (relates to Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5)

    Hi
    I have scoured the net and this forum for solutions to this bizarre problem, but found nothing that solved my problem. Alos posted this question on the Native Instruments forum, but have had no replies).
    Tech details:
    I have a MAC Mini 10.8.3. My audio Interface is a Steinberg UR22. I use Logic Pro 9.1.8.
    I have downloaded the GR 5 demo. It shows up and loads fine in Logic. Unfortunately, however, there is no input signal at all coming through to GR. Input and output paths in both MAC and Logic are all switched correctly to Steinberg. Audio Software Monitoring is also selected in Logic Audio. I have also selected and deselected the L and R channel icons in GR with no results, still no input signal. I have swapped audio input channel on the Steinberg. The cable works and is plugged in so it's not one of those Duh! moments either.
    Now the funny part: As mentioned, when I open GR inside a Logic project, I get no input signal.
    However, when i go to my NU folder and open GR there, I do get an input signal. I also get the 'file' etc tabs at the top and am able to check settings etc (which of course you can't do when you open GR inside Logic). However, any changes made in GR when it is opened in the folder do not affect the GR opened inside Logic, so there is no point changing anything in the settings.
    The only other strange thing is that in the GR that does have an input signal...it plays both the GR sound that is selected as well as the 'dry' guitar sound, therefore messing up the real sound.
    The fact that I do get a signal in GR when I open it outside of Logic does not help me at all, I need a signal in GR inside of the Logic project so i can make a test recording.
    Does anyone here have a any suggestion or tips please?

    First... when a plugin is used in Logic it is not standalone, in other words, If you aren't getting signal into Logic the plugin will not receive signal on it's own, that's not the way it works. The GR demo is inserted in Logic's signal path, if the signal is not getting into logic it's not going through the GH.
    Alos, Logic runs indepently from the Mac's Audio preferences, so it doesn't matter what you set the Mac's system preferences to, it's only matters how you have Logic's preferences set.
    go here:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/#chapter=2%26section=0
    Read configuring your audio hardware..
    Also, go here and make sure you're using the latest driver:

  • Hp pavilion shows no input signal?

    I have a Hp pavilion p6208f that came with 6GB RAM and 500GB Hard drive. It's about two years old and has both windows 7 and Ubuntu on it. Anyway the problem I've been having is when i turn on the computer it shows no input signal on the monitor. I use a VGA cord and nothing is wrong with it because I plugged it up to my laptop and the laptop info shows on the pc monitor. It had the same issue about two months ago so I bought a new video card ( a Nvidia Geforce210) and all worked well until a few days ago. A few days ago the pc started acting up again and displaying the no input message. After messing  with the video card and jiggling it around I got it to work two nights but last night nothing worked. 
    Heres the things I've already tried from looking at other posts:
    Did a hard restart. (unplugged power cord and held power button a little over a minute)
    Took out video card and hard drive, and put them back in.
    jiggled the video card around plenty in case it was just getting a bad connection
    Hooked up VGA cord to laptop to make sure that wasn't the problem
    Clean out the fans (the fans and everything work just fine still)
    Turned the monitor off and on to make see if showed VGA active
    The only thing i did not do was try a DVI cord plugged into it because I do not have one right now. 
    Anyone have or had the same problem? I'm hoping the video part of the motherboard is not going out, but could that be what's happening?

    >I'm hoping the video part of the motherboard is not going out
    Try the onboard graphic - so you can check it very easily.
    Take out the additional card for this - graphics driver are nvidia?
    If the vga port is covered, just uncover it - without graphics card you should get a video signal from the internal gpu port.
    If you see no bios and nothing - is the pc reacting like he's booting up?
    If no, then you have a problem with the internal gpu or maybe also with the memory.
    Have you tried to use only one RAM?
    Have you already re-seated them?
    Btw.:
    >I bought a new video card ( a Nvidia Geforce210)
    I don't think that the 210 will be much better than your internal one.

  • Would like to know the meaning of the Input Signal Channel Indicators on Denon 2311CI

    The manual has no information on the meaning of these indicators on the display. For example, why is it that when I have a DVD or Apple TV as the source, the Input Signal Channel Indicators on the left side of the display show only LF and RF (left front/right front), while it shows LF, RF, C, SL and SR (left/right front, center, left/right surround) when I have my satellite box tuned to the major networks?

    When you connect a device that has only stero output (not multicahnnel sound), then you will only see the standard stereo menu,  Your apple products do not output multichannel sound, at least not in the manner you have them hooked yup to the reciever.
