no signal input

[harry 48]

i got a popup when i turned of the pc , ( no signal input check video cable ) , what doe's this mean

[Mulreay]

Is that not from your monitor? If you turn off the PC before the monitor, the monitor will say it has no signal... because it no longer does.

[Allan]

Yes Mulreay, that's exactly what it is - an advisory from the display saying it is not recognized by the computer (the computer isn't on).

[Aegis]

Yeah, that one is all right - it's the monitor's way of telling you, "Hey, I work, but I don't have an incoming signal from the computer that I can show you."  It probably does indeed stem from turning off the computer before the monitor, which is all right, as far as I know.

It's a standard monitor display.

[harry 48]

you must be right thank you i had to turn of and re-start

[Mulreay]

Thanks ADG and Aegis for clarifying my point 

[harry 48]

yes thank everyone

[Aegis]

It wasn't so much that your point needed clarifying, M, as just trying to reassure Harry that nothing was really wrong, and that it's standard for monitors to have such a display.

[Allan]

Yeah, sorry bro - from the way you phrased your answer it sounded as though you weren't 100% certain and I was just confirming.
