    Monitor's connection is wonky?
    « on: April 21, 2014, 01:45:53 PM »
    Hi All,

    Last week, my monitor began faintly but rapidly flashing, and eventually the screen went black. Not off, no messages, just black. Upon toggling the power switch off then back on, the monitor would work for less than 2 seconds, then go black again. For awhile, rebooting did the trick for a length of time, but the monitor would always go back off. Eventually the rebooting stopped working altogether. Now it will flash for -2 seconds and remain black upon reboot.

    Things I've tried-
    Separate cable
    separate power cord
    different monitor - display remained dark on this as well
    removed the graphics card and used original port - problem remained.

    Anyone have any ideas on this? There was no prompting it, just during regular use it randomly started happening.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!
