Dear David,
Well, a slight light comes on the monitor screen after I boot up the
computer, but it is not enough to recognize anything.
When I hold the JAWS key and the number 5 on the number row, it does tell me
what colors have printed on doc files and such.
To be honest, I really do not know where I can take it to test the monitor.
I thought perhaps something got messed up in my "Display Settings", and
although I am not that familiar with all which is in that, as I tab through,
I saw nothing I thought was not correct or needed changing.
Thanks so much David.
With Best Regards,
Alan

Does anything at all come up on the screen during any part of the boot up
cycle? Also not to sound like a broken record but make certain that all
cables are connected properly. It might even be possible that your video
card has gone bad. Definitely try testing that monitor on another system
such as take it to a friend's house if you have to and see if it works at
that point.
You need to verify that it is the monitor or the card before you make any
other decision.

Dear David,
Thanks for your reply.
No, this Dell is the only computer I have.
It was purchased the end of 2007 so basically is only 4 years old.
I could kick myself for not renewing the "Extended Warrantee" last
November,
as I did the previous year, but it was getting expensive, and I never had
a
problem with this Dell System!
Thanks again.
With Best Regards,
Alan

It is possible that it went bad, I've known it to happen. I grant you it
is
rare these days. Do you have another system you can test that monitor on?

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Monitor is on, but no picture
Dear Friends,
I have no idea what happened, but there is no picture on my Monitor.
It is turned on, and gets warm like usual, my JAWS reads whatever program
I
go to just fine, but I have no picture.
I am using XP-Home, JAWS 11, and I have a Dell System Model OptiPlex
745.
All the cables and wires seem connected just fine, and as I said, the
monitor even has the little signal lights on by all the buttons, of which
there is only 1 I know what is for, the off / on button, which I never
touch.
But turning this button off and on just gives me the sound signal that it
always did.
Anyone have any ideas?
If the monitor did not get warm like it always did, I would think it
burned
out, but as I said it does and so have no clue.
I can use the computer, but some times I need my better half to look at
things for me or she uses my computer to do things, so need a monitor
that
one can see!
I appreciate any thoughts.
With Best Regards,
Alan
