Hello,
I'll be as complete as possible to avoid unnecessary questions: 1. Two days ago I installed 2 gigs of ram and removed the 512 stick. 2. When I rebooted, the monitor powered on but was black and the power light kept going to yellow. 3. To verify the cable was good, I took the monitor to my neighbor's house and connected it with my cable to his computer and although he had to change a few settings, it worked. 4. When I returned I tried again on my home comuter and this time the power light stayed green but I got a "No input signal." error message. 5.I went to the HP website and completed every possible step on their troubleshooter. (Made sure it was not in suspend mode by moving mouse and pressing spacebar; disconnected the monitor and rebooted, and turned off the monitor, disconnected the monitor power for 5 seconds leaving computer on and then turning on the monitor) still received the signal error.) I could not perform the Safe Mode step because, and those guys must not be thinking, I need the blasted monitor to SEE the Safe mode options!  .6. Thinking it was my graphics card, I took the old card to Best Buy and bought a new one which HP supports (ACI). 7. After correctly seating the card, connecting the cables and making sure all power was on, I turned the monitor on. Signal message error was still there. 8. I repeated the troubleshooting steps in #5 above, with no luck. 7. I connected my monitor to my laptop and went into the monitor settings and reset them to the factory settings. Signal error still there. 8. I repeated the steps in #5 above. 9. And now I'm hoping you'll have some information that I haven't thought of. I'm stumped!  Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

No joy. I removed the secondary stick, and tried it; I removed the primary stick and tried it and then I put the original stick back in and tried it. I'm still getting that "no input signal" error. Any other thoughts???

you could try the old 512 stick and see if it works

Sorry, I that was the third thing I did "replaced the original". What gets me it that the monitor works on my laptop and my neighbor's computer with no problems. It can't be the monitor.

That was one question I didn't anticipate. I did that; I know exactly where I took the original 512 stick from and that's where the primary replacement went. There are only two slots.
More advice? |

All i can suggest is to re-check all connections/seatings and to check if the monitor is plugged into the correct socket at the back as same have two with one socket set as default
