Hi guys,

I have a Polaroid flat screen monitor & tv screen combo. usually I can turn it on and then hit "input" and it gives me options as tv, video, computer.

Right now I turn it on and it shows up in a few seconds the Polaroid with a black screen and then that's it. It is not responding to the input at all.

Any ideas on what to get it going. I use the monitor for dvd's and for my desk-top.

Thanks ahead of time.

Sheri, go into the setup in your computer, sounds like a setting has changed. I am using a 56 HDTV for my monitor
as well as a 24" on my desk, both by HG. Occasionally I have to reset both of them in the computer. Last problem I experienced was that on the 56" all I was getting was my desktop it wasn't picking up anything else. After resetting everything was back to normal.
Hope this suggestion has been of help to you.

Thanks UP. This is the only monitor I have for my desk top. I use it to watch a move as well. But even the dvd (not on the computer) wont show up using the input. It all just kind of stopped. Last time it worked was using the dvd watching a move. Next time I went to watch a dvd movie this is what happened and now it wont work for my desktop either. I tried changing it to all the channels but still nothing.

Many times I ave customers unplug the power cord for 10 minutes then plug back in power up. Hope it works

Well, I am going to unplug it for all night. It did this once before and I am not sure what finally got it up and going but it did. So, I pray it works. I need my Photoshop! Thanks for the suggestion. GB

Take it to a tv shop probably bad caps in the power supply if you leave it too long like that will end up blowing the main board.
