Please excuse me while I turn around. Now will someone give me a swift kick. I took my wife's computer back into the house, hooked it all up and turned it on, And nothing!!! The monitor stayed black and the little yellow light just blink off and on showing there was no signal, just like last night. I'm sitting there murming wondering what is wrong, is the monitor out. When my wife reached over me and pushed the power button on the monitor, then the light turned green and it came on. Now I'm sitting here wondering how did the monitor get turned off in the first place and why does it have a blinking yellow light when the power is off. Or did pushing that button act like a reset switch for the monitor?
