Based on the (lack of) information that you posted there is not much you can do other than verify that your computer and it's video display card is still working OK by plugging in a different monitor. Also make sure that there is not a problem with your monitor cable and that it is firmly plugged into the computer and that there are no bent pins in the connectors. electricitym .. .. |

The video card is fine, there are no bent pins. what would be the
easiest/best way to check the cable? as for "Based on the (lack of) information that you posted" It's a Gateway EV700. The first time i hooked it up the power led came on and it made that sound that monitors/tvs make when you cut them on, but the screen stayed black for about 20 minutes. I was going to change monitors but was running late for something so i just left it and when i came back into the room about 20 minutes later it was working. It worked fine for around 2 1/2 weeks but i never cut the power off on it, but then the power went off durring a storm and since then it still makes that sound but doesn't display anything at all no matter how long I wait. wrote in message oups.com...

The EV700 monitors are noted for their bad flyback transformers. Open
the set and check the resistance between the anode (big red wire that goes to top of picture tube) and ground. It should read open circuit (infinate resistance). If ok, then check the capactance between anode and ground. It should read approx 2.75 nano-farads. If below 1 NF or any resistance, its bad. Hope this helps... John |
