Hi Dale, |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
just a shot in the dark (I did the same a few weeks ago): |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
May the non-working monitor has more than one input jack, say |
| 35 |
HDMI, DVI and analog. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
May be the monitor is set to await a signal at the HDMI input |
| 38 |
and physically the signal is feed into the DVI input ? |
| 39 |
|

HTH! |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Best regards, |
