Liam Bunce Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 My computer tech told me that they have more problems with computers that upgraded from W7 than anything else, the dedicated W10 computers they have very little problems when up grading.

I had to get a tech man out as nothing was working that I tried, apparently it was something to do with the Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809 that went wrong when updating, so not too expensive. This latest upgrade is the buggiest I've ever experienced. And the Spring Update should be out in April. Here we go again! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ashmore Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Does the computer make a series of beeps when you turn it on? .. different to the beeps that it normally makes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wim is right, inadvertent changeof source is the most common cause, and cheapest to fix. There is usually a row 4-6 buttons either down the side or under the bottom edge. The function legend is sometimes just a small moulded icon and may be difficult to see. On mine it includes the on/off button but that is not always the case. Google the monitor spec and search for the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Is there a way of changing the input choice? Could be a hidden button on the monitor somewhere, leading to a menu on screen. Could be this is now set for the wrong input - HDMI; DVI-D or DisplayPort. If this doesn't solve it: what has changed? Or what was the last thing you did with your computer? What could have happened in between? Do you have access to a different monitor? Try that. If the outcome is the same, it's likely not the monitor. Could still be the input choice on the monitor or the cable. Is your computer using a graphics card or it's integrated GPU? And so on. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Clemson Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm just off out for the day now, but other information which may help is a description of any sounds the computer is making when starting up and any lights which it shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 If the monitor reports no signal from computer that means the monitor input is not receiving any data from the computer graphics card. Usually this is a problem with the computer, not the monitor. Try connecting the monitor to another computer, if you can, to see if the same message shows up, this will at least confirm whether the monitor is faulty or not. Troubleshooting a faulty computer or graphics card is more difficult. It may help if you can supply some information on what kind of computer you have and what kind of video lead you are using to connect to the monitor.
