my pc monitor had gone into coma :'(

[focusless]

i had a very very old computer and recently when i tried to on it, the monitor couldnt work.  even though the power 'light' (which is the tiny dot of light beside the on/off switch) is on, the monitors screen is totally BLANK. this is actually the second monitor i've got for this computer, the 1st monitor had the same situation  :osooo im not gonna get another one anyway the model is 'Philips 107s (light frame 2) which i dont know what it meant  ' and even though i totally had no idea abt monitor, im sure the monitor thingy had nothing to do wif computer. my bros's computer is actually using 'Philips 105e' monitor and it had nvr gave him any problem at all, its like i jinxed every single electronic appliances i haf ever had (so far i had jinxed a mp3, cd player n monitor even though im sure theres more but i jus couldnt recall  ) sorry for such a longgg story but if anyone had any idea or solution pls tell me. thx in advance

Have you been tinkering with the video settings in Windows?  Installed new video drivers or a new version of DirectX lately?

My current monitor does the same thing whenever the video refresh rate in Windows is set too high.

If you don't even see anything when you first boot the computer (before Windows loads) then it's probably a different problem altogether.

did u check the graphic card? the cable? uninstall it and reinstall again could work...

almost all pc monitors have a menu that you can access even without a signal coming in,so therefore if you get a menu you have a signal fault from the pc and if you dont get a menu then you have a monitor fault-i have seen sometimes a monitor reset its adjustment setting e.g turn the brightness right down,best to check this first-also just check this monitor on another pc(remember your monitor light should be green,not amber or red)

LASTEST UPDATES!!!recently my second comp haf gotten the exact condition but this time it could be due to hardware virus, a few days ago i dismantle the cpu bcus the cd drive wasnt working so i thought i would try repairing it. so after all was fixed and placed back i tried turning on the comp and my monitor jus black out.... is exactly the same condition as my previous comp so if anyone know how to slove the problem pls pls tell me

why don,t you try system restore,otherwise good anti virus/spyware-had a prob on my pc where one of my kids downloaded something dodgy then it started wiping the drivers to everything starting with cd
