Modern Computer Monitors are designed to stay off (even when turned on) until they actually receive a video signal from the computer.

Most likely this isn't a problem with your monitor, but a problem with your computer. Check the cables & make sure the signal cable isn't loose or disconnected. If that isn't it, you probably have a problem with your computer that is keeping it from sending a signal.

To find out for sure, hook the monitor up to a laptop or some other computer, if the monitor works there, you know the problem is somewhere in your system.

A possibly related side-note. Ive found that many times when a computer wouldn't produce video, its been because of a loose (or bad) ram stick. You may try reseating the ram. If you have 2 sticks, try the machine on just one, & then just the other.

What do you do when your monitor is not detected by windows?

First clear your mind and clam down think about your problem and break it down step by step 1. Power on: Check and make sure your monitor power is turned on; usually a green light indicates that the monitor has power. 2. Plug in: Check if the power cord is plug in. 3.The notice: is there a notice on your monitor screen saying that no connection has been found or something similar to that? If so then check the cable connecting your monitor to the computer, make sure to check both ends sometimes this cable can become lose even if you never go back there always check your cable. Even if it's not loose unscrew it and screw it back on. 4. Swap Monitor: if you have access to another monitor swap it and see if the other one is giving you the same trouble. 5.Did you hear Beeps: A defective graphics card should give you error beeps, usually one long beep then 3 short beeps (this can be different depending on board or bios) you may need a new graphic card or your onboard graphics may have gone bad.(replace card or add card if on board has gone bad, although some people replace their whole motherboard in fear of other components may be going bad as well) 6. Bios maybe: you may need to check the bios if you have onboard graphics and are using a graphic card instead of the onboard graphics your computer may have for whatever reason switch back to using the onboard graphic port you may have to access your Bios and change it back. 7. NOTE: WARNING! Never take your monitor apart very dangerous! Dispose of it properly and buy a new one if it turns out that the monitor its self is bad


do you need a pc to display a nintendo switch onto a monitor or does it just need the monitor and the cables for the switch?

If all you want is to play your Nintendo Switch games on your computer’s monitor, you don’t need to connect it to your PC. Most modern monitors have HDMI connectors and are likely to have more than one. So all you need to do is plug your Switch dock into your monitor using an HDMI cable.

What does an interlock monitor switch do in a microwave oven?

In general, the interlock monitor switch in a microwave oven is the switch that shorts the line out (knocking out the internal fuse) in a microwave oven if the door interlock switch stays shut when the door is opened. The interlock monitor switch is the monitor for the door interlock switch. Let's look at things more closely and see what that means.The door interlock switch opens when the door opens, and this prevents the oven from coming on when the door is not shut. That way no one gets zapped. Simple. The door interlock monitor switch will close when the door opens, but this switch closes after the door interlock switch opens. The interlock monitor switch does nothing if everything is working properly.In the case of a door interlock switch that has suffered an arc and the contacts become welded shut, that switch will remain shut when the door is opened. This might allow the oven to run with the door open. But if this happens, the interlock monitor switch, which will shut when the door opens, will short the line if the door interlock switch remains closed when the door opens. This will knock out the line fuse and "kill" the unit. If any microwave oven presents with a blown line fuse, one of the mandatory checks must be the door interlock switch and the door interlock monitor switch.


I have a PC with the following details 2.93GHz 1.5GB Ram Pentium 4 256MB video card Is it possible to get or put or insert an external graphic card to it?

Graphics cards connect to the computer only through the connectors present on the motherboard so an external graphics card is unfortunately not an option. You can always switch your video card entirely, but be sure to check if the motherboard you have supports it.

Can you run 2 computers on 1 monitor using dvi for one and analog for the other?

you can get a device called a KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch which allows you to use 2 computers with a single monitor,keyboard and mouse and you can switch between the two computers.The monitor has noway of deciphering the two signals coming in from the dvi and also the analog inputs. The monitor will only accept which input is set to priority. Which means you could use the monitor to make the switch by accessing the monitor settings and switching that way.
