Angry NO SIGNAL INPUT - 2 PC's - SAME NIGHT - Please help!
Hi, I will be grateful of any help here.

Last night while my Dad was on Ebay (all he ever does online), his monitor went blank and said "no signal input". He never touched anything because he's not very good with computers so he came and got me, when I got there it still said NO SIGNAL INPUT. So I shut it off by holding in the power button, and tried restarting the entire PC but still the same NO SIGNAL INPUT on monitor. Restarted a few times and got nothing.

So I went and got my monitor from my own PC from my house and tried connecting it to my Dad's PC but got no joy. Tried his cable with my monitor, tried my cable with my monitor etc etc. Checked no pins were bent or there was excess dust but nothing (my parents are clean freaks theres never dust anywhere!!)

So it was late by this point, I came back to mine and never connected my monitor. BUT I just went to connect mine back up and and I'm now gettin NO SIGNAL INPUT on my PC!!!! I'm so ???? about this. I've never had trouble with my PC at all it's a great runner and now this I'm completely baffled.

Could it be a virus thats transferred through a monitor cable?? We are on different ISPs I'm virgin and he's orange. Don't think thats' anything to do with it.....

someone please help?

I'm gettin nothing on either monitor, the PC's seem to be booting because the mouse lights flash and keyboard etc it all sounds normal but absolutely nothing on either monitor.

Well no because the speakers are built into the monitor in both PCs, I guess I could plug in a pair of external speakers to them, I am almost certain they are both loading as they are both making the same noises and whirs as before

My friend has suggested that my Dads PC blew the monitor, and that when I plugged in my monitor into my Dads it then blew my monitor?

Hope this is NOT the case as I can't really afford to shell out a new monitor, using my office PC right now to post on here.

thanks

Not sure what's going on, but a virus cannot be transmitted via monitor.
