Can you try the monitor on another computer? Even try it on the old
one would be a valid test of the monitor's health.

Hi -
I just got a new little Compaq cheapie computer (CQ2009 Desktop PC)
for my mom to replace her old one. I turned the old one off -
monitor working just fine. Started hooking up the new computer
(attached Envision monitor which has always worked perfectly,
keyboard, etc.) Turned on the computer (light came on and it sounded
OK) but when I tried to turn on the monitor - the light on it did
not come on. The light on its power supply was on. I turned off
computer. Did lots of plugging and ubplugging all to no avail.
Any thoughts about what happened? I don't have another monitor to
try on it, and am afraid to borrow one - as I wonder if the computer
did something to cause the monitor not to work.
Thanks for any help. My poor little mom was so looking forward to
getting this set up!! Her old one had slowed to being unusable even
after I did everything I oculd think of to try to get it working
better.
Please copy to me any answer as I get the digest.
