Why wont my monitor not come on when I fire up a computer??

Question

I'd understand it if i had took the thing apart, but all i've done is unplug the computer, and bring it back to my house. lol

Answer 1

Well, unless you dropped the monitor part of the computer in transit, there seems to be only one explanation to this enigma: you forgot to plug the video cable to the computer, also called VGA cable. You have to plug 2 cords into the monitor: VGA cable+power cable. Usually the VGA cable is black with blue endings if you have a LCD monitor, and off white/gray if you have a regular tv/style monitor(in this case the VGA cord is glued to the monitor side anyway).The power cord is either all black for the lcd type monitor, or off white/gray for the regular tv/style monitor.

P.S.: if your computer happens to be a laptop, then you have a serious problem...

Check the connections they may have come loose
