The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Monitor card problem "Please Check the Signal Cable"

Asked by smoothtech in Miscellaneous Hardware, Home Theater Wiring & Accessories, Computer Displays / Monitors

Tags: , , , ,

When I go to turn on the computer, the monitor displays the following message: "Please Check the Signal Cable".  Here is what I have done.  I first made sure that the monitor was plugged into the right place in the computer (it is plugged into a monitor card).  I then checked for bent pin and found no problem there.  Next I checked to make sure the monitor card had not come unseated (this computer had just been moved from another state).  The card looked fine to me.  

As I was doing more research into this, I have found that the problem could be the mother board, unseated memory (but I should hear beeps if that was the case), or it could be the CPU chip or a bad monitor card.  I did try and replace the monitor card with two others (one was a PCI slot and the other was a special monitor slot like the one that is already in the computer) that I thought worked (the cards worked  the last time I tried it).  I even tried a PCI monitor card.  But still I get the same message on the computer screen.

I know this means that the monitor is getting nothing from the card.  Is there anyone who has dealt with this problem before and can give me some tips on what I need to do to fix this problem.  I am wary of buying a new monitor card since I tried two different ones and neither worked.  I'm thinking it is another problem....unless there is something else you have to do when installing a new monitor card.  Any ideas?  Thanks.Start Free Trial
