Hi,
I generally leave my computer on all the time and just have it go into sleep mode after a few hours. This morning I woke up my computer but the moniter stays black. The power light is green and I've tried unplugging the cable and power and replugging but it still stays black. Is the moniter broken or does it need to go on vacation for a while?

Thanks!
 
Monitors have V High voltages under the hood so do not be tempted to remove the cover !

Try it on a M8's system

Try your M8's monitor on yours

It does sound broken doesn't it.

Have you turned off your computer yet or did you just unplug the monitor?
 
I had the same thing happen and when I cold rebooted the monitor would come up. The problem was in the pc video card.
