I know it's not the place to be posting tech support questions but Ive been recently been spending most of my free time only on this forum and in the search for a quick response to an old hardware based question - where better? 😊
I have an old CTX VL950T CRT monitor that I've been using normally for the past few months without any problems at all. However, I often switch the monitor lead by unplugging it from my desktop machine, plugging it into my ASUS EEE PC, also, without any problems
Yesterday, I switched from the desktop to the desktop to the ASUS EEE PC a normal, but this time, nothing happened. I have the orange LED (not green) on the monitor, but no picture. When I also remove the lead from either, I no longer get the NO SIGNAL message. I turn the monitor on and on and you can hear the static crackle away as it warms up and the tube kick in, like normal, but just no picture. 😦
I checked the VGA connector and it appears that 3 pins are missing from the DB-15 lineup. Now, I'm not even sure if they were there to begin with, so I can't say for sure, that this is the problem. THey could've come out or they may have never been there in the first place. Here's a pic of the pins that are missing:
I can't think what else to try and what the symptoms may be. I only got the monitor from my girlfriends parents a few months ago, thinking I'd got a good deal, as I wouldn't have to go out and buy my own CRT, but now, that looks to be the case ... 😢
