    Monitor issue!
    « on: November 12, 2017, 08:53:59 AM »
    I recently moved and now that I'm settled I tried to set up my laptop (Lenovo Y560) to my monitor ( Gateway 23" flatscreen) but the monitor won't mirror the laptop. I have power up the monitor and I see a flashing blue light in the lower rt. of the screen. I have tried using the FN keys but still no help. All connections are in order and I just simply don't know what to try next. I can get by without the monitor but it is nice to have the HUGE screen to use. Can anyone offer suggestions please?

    Did this work this way prior to the move with that display?

    What type of connection do you have between display and laptop? ( VGA, HDMI )

    Are you using any signal or connection type converters VGA to DVI or a box that converts one signal type to another in between or older single directional HDMI cables to where turning cable around fixes the issue between laptop and display?
