Windows Forum / Windows XP / New Users / October 2006A new monitor?
Do I have to resign myself to get a new monitor? Sometimes my monitor, an old 17'' Spectrum 7Glr, refuses to light up on booting. One, two, three or even a dozen rebooting attempts and, to my relief, it sesuscitates postponing the aggravating purchase of new equipment. In some circumstances, when the number of useless bootings has annihilated all my hopes, I let the monitor "rest" for two hours or so and voilà it comes back to its duties. Does anyone have an explanation or a way to unravel the problem?

Try to test and assess your Computer temperature and Power supply functionalty. HTH. Please report back. Regards, nass --------- www.nasstec.co.uk It sounds like a probable hardware failure in the monitor itself, though a failing video card can't be ruled out. To be certain, it would be best to try another monitor on your computer or try your monitor with another computer.

One from another computer will do fine.

Maybe, but I wouldn't be too quick to buy one. Standard troubleshooting procedure is to try another monitor in its place and see if you have the same problems. Do you have a friend you can borrow one from? It's also useful to try your monitor on a friend's computer.
