1113352 2010-06-25 00:50:00 Connect the 2nd monitor to another computer. See if its still working Speedy Gonzales (78)
1113353 2010-06-25 00:52:00 another monitor of ours did this. i connected that to another pc and that didnt work. i turned the monitor off at 1am this morning when i turned off my pc. it was fine. i always press the power button on my monitors to turn them off so it saves power. goodiesguy (15316)
1113354 2010-06-25 00:54:00 i connected it to another pc. the same thing. i'll try a different power cord goodiesguy (15316)
1113355 2010-06-25 00:55:00 Sounds like something is dead then. If it doesnt work on another computer Speedy Gonzales (78)
1113356 2010-06-25 00:57:00 thats the worst news i could ever hear. **** it. my dad can go without his second monitor. he dosent use it and i need it. i'll go set his one up in here goodiesguy (15316)
1113357 2010-06-25 01:09:00 Now it's strange that you say that. Possibly a coincidence I would think.

Yesterday at around 12:00 midday the power went off at my place. When the power came back on again my monitor had exactly the same symptoms and a surge protector is on the same circuit.

I took the monitor elsewhere and same again so I went and bought a nice new widescreen which works fine.

1113358 2010-06-25 01:15:00 i've just grabbed my dads second monitor for now. he dosent even use stuff on it. he has it there to look good. it'll come in handy for me as i need a working second monitor.

the monitor was fine at 1am this morning. what could have happend. their was no power outage as my laptop was still going. my tv was still on. i don't get it

1113359 2010-06-25 01:33:00 Just as a point of interest. What do you do that makes having a second monitor so essential? GreacherTech (15784)
1113360 2010-06-25 02:03:00 i have my music player "Foobar2000" on it. its extremly handy and i have become accustomed to it. it's easier like that. i can browse on my main. and select music on my right goodiesguy (15316)
