Are you using the digital interface or the analog? This usually happens because of a frequency or rate incompatability. Did you try kicking the resolution and refresh rate down to the minimum while plugged into the monitor that does work then trying the one that dosent?
My power supply stopped working after I tried to scan with my new color laser printer on. Both heavy power users. I checked and am sure the PSU is bad. I installed a new PSU and everything powers up but I can't get a picture. Tried resetting the BIOS.

I was about to download a video on my Toshiba laptop when my computer shutdown. I need to update my driver. How should I do this?

My laptop's health monitor says that the fan speed is 66%. Is that too high, and if so, what should I do?

I plugged my computer into a station that was running 230v power. It will no longer turn on of course. I would like to know what will need to be replaced to repair it. I was thinking it would be the whole power supply, am I correct?

Lightning struck near my house last night causing my accidentally plugged in laptop to spark at the place where it was plugged in. the laptop works but refuses to charge. Is this an internal problem or a problem with the power cord?

justsumd00d, the monitor gives me this: Move mouse or keyboard keys to blah blah blah... and says that it is in POWER SAVER mode? How do I get it out of POWER SAVER mode? Dell XPS Gen 4 monitor.

Yeah, but I can't see a thing. I mean, there's no way to change the resolution, because I can't see the desktop, and I use a Mac. I only bought this piece of junk for my 9 year old son who's coming up to see me in July.
