Debranded 25" HP monitor gets no signal input. How can I fix this?

25" "famous maker" monitor from Sellout suddenly says "check video signal" when connected to any source (PC or console) - indicating that no video signal is reaching the monitor. PC and console work fine with different monitor, so the issue is with the "famous brand" monitor. Have put latest HP drivers for HP 2509m monitor on PC, and this did not fix it.

HP site has instructions for troubleshooting - indicating that this is a common problem with HP monitors.

Does anyone in the community have any ideas about what to try next, other than sending the monitor to the dump?

1. unconnect and reconnect cable and power cord from both pc and power source (outlet or surge supressor)
2. try another cable from puter to monitor and do the same for the power
3. Check the menu options on the monitor after you see if any lights/signs come on the monitor (mine intially showed yellow then goes blue when a signal is received)
4. do not forget the actual number one rule after checking cables - reboot. this sounds simple, but reboot after checking each step. replace a cable - reboot etc.
Troubleshooting is quite lengthy when done correctly.

Follow up - are you using it as vga dvi or hdmi, through a card or through a standard motherboard with integrated graphics?

(someone want to jump in here, my troubleshooting skills are rusty)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
