Monitor trouble - no signal

Remnox · 21-08-2009, 05:51 PM

I have 2 computers but 1 monitor. I had to work on both and kept changing the monitor from 1 PC to the other. After a few times the monitor says no signal on both PCs. I tried a friends monitor and same results on both. Could this have possibly broke or had negative effect on both video cards!?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

It's very unlikely that both the computers broke at the same time. Did you try using a different cable to connect the monitor?

Anyway if you're planning to use a single monitor for both the PCs buy a KVM switch for easy switching.

Thanks for reply Spider, i brought it to computer store on Friday it turns out it was the cable. I had tried that already with another a spare cable i had, turns out they were both defective. What are the chances hehe.
