Surprisingly unplugging the monitor power cord and plugging it back worked lol. Thank you

[@techniker8745]

who would've thought that the solution would be to unplug then replug the power supply (i only tried turning the power button on and off) Thanks a lot saved me a lot of trouble

[@sugarfreestreaming8699]

Mine displays a NO SIGNAL on the 2nd monitor when I unplug and plug it back in. I've gone through ALL the standard options you find online, none of them work. Here's something weird though: when I unplug the monitor that doesn't turn on and plug it back in - both monitors turn off and then come back on and work fine. What does that mean?

[@dyro1x987]

have you fixed it yet

[@Murdahz762]

That means your power is bout to be fucked

[@publicenemy9452]

I'm a computer tech and I still don't have the answer for anyone. Clearly OP in the video has a faulty monitor because none of that is the end all cure. Some computers just lack the ability to process more than what it is able to, ie another video output with a computer with low cores is going to have problems. Not always, but most of the time.

[@adxdenerlx6969]

I had a similar issue after simply drawing a line in windows picture editor (yeah idk), but if I put something full screen on the monitor(1) with issues, it worked fine. Also it had the ability to hide the programs behind the black screen, yet if I hovered over the program in the taskbar to highlight it I could see it as if it was full screen, and interact with them. Monitor 2 worked fine. I did unplug and plug the cable (displayport) and change up inputs on monitor 1 through physical buttons, none of which worked (by itself). The solution somehow turned out to be that I had to open a full screen program (any, I just used a random game) to be able to see the screen, then a tab over to see the taskbar over full screen. Then I had to drag the taskbar that was located on monitor 1 that had all the program icons (what he clicked on 2:10), over to monitor 2, which does not have those small icons. This solved it to me, but I have no idea what the logic behind such a bug could be. I suppose my problem was more of a software issue instead of cables, but I'll leave this comment in case it might help someone that find this video through the same keywords I used :)

[@milennyalmanzar2853]

bro I tried the fullscreen thing and it worked what the heck-

[@adxdenerlx6969]

Glad someone found my random method of figuring out a weird bug useful :)

[@jorgeherrera3900]

Bro, u just saved my career today! Thank u wherever you are!

[@TheSeunger]

My second monitor has gone completely pitch black, but sometimes will come around on its own after a few minutes. But as the days goes by, it does gradually feel worse because it outright refuses to display anything. So unplugging and replugging my second monitor from the monitor itself definitely helped solve this issue. Thank you for providing a helpful solution.

[@MeJustHe]

It doesnt work for me and mine is a new one

[@reikoxan]

I pulled out the power cable and HDMI from monitor and plugged them back in and it works now. Thanks (I did not have other display cables plugged in)

[@Smashblood101]

Thank you so much man, all I needed to do was unplug the second monitor!

[@doedoebird6614]

But both are black screens...my 1 was in black screen mode while I watch 2...and I cut them both off then later I can back and once I unplug the adapter the 1 comes on but once I plug it in it goes black and 2 still doesn’t come on

[@cr4zyw3ld3r]

I have an M2 mac mini where the second TV will stay on for a few min after a restart of the mac but then screen goes dark. Mac still detects the display but nothing shows on the TV. I have tried an active HDMI cable, 3 different USB-C to HDMI adapters and uplugging/replugging different components to no avail any suggestions?

[@brawas]

I used to do this, unplug and replug the HDMI from the back of the monitor. New trick I learned is windows+ctrl+shift+B. This resets the graphics controller and all monitors come back. What I would really like to know is what is the root cause of this so it stops happening every few days. I tried replacing cables, updating drivers, etc.

[@609renee]

Thank you!!!!! I start a work from home job tomorrow and couldn't get the 2nd monitor set up! This worked perfectly!

[@maximaxi4394]

Hey, how is it going for you with your home job?

[@lynnseeden]

1:04 unplug the cable and plug it back in. That is all it took! Thanks so much!

[@ubiquitousingit]

Well, I just got a new laptop and the extended monitor wasn't happy. Got a black screen with no mouse pointer. I kept re-plugging the HDMI from the laptop end, but only after watching your video, I unplugged it from the monitor side and the monitor came up. Thank you so much for this. However, I am still wondering what made it to work, but at the end, I am happy that my workstation is fit and fine now.

I had my monitor black, I tried changing drivers, testing other HDMI cables, I can't believe the monitor came back just unpluggin it from AC..., many thanks bro !!!

[@vrm7n]

I know this is 4 years ago but if someone like myself has a tv and monitor setup, given that your tv is (secondary) restart the pc then unplug the tv from the wall/outlet mine automatically turned on again. Thanks for the tutorial !

[@aviranyan]

im trying to connect my laptop to a monitor through HDMI, and it showed on black screen just like this one. at first it didnt even detect the 2nd monitor. fixed it by manually updating my nvidia driver (using the clean install option). then it detects the 2nd monitor, but still show black. in the end, it was cleaning my laptop's HDMI port that fixed it (just a few strong blow of air to the port)... because this laptop is so dusty. thank you for the help!

[@djevenskyertilus9169]

You’re video is still helping in 2024, I just unplugged the cable from the monitor and it worked🤦🏽‍♂️

[@amahriael6582]

2 monitors and 1 PC. When I have my screensaver on then moved the mouse, 1 monitor screen went blank. Do I need to keep pulling out the monitor cable and plug back in?

[@jazzdrummer000]

Hello. I have a problem. When I turn on the computer for about 40 minutes, I work on the Internet and everything is fine, after a while the monitor turns off, the screen turns black and the computer works, it means that the monitor is also turned on, the green dot below is turned on, only the monitor turns off and then I have to I have to turn off the computer and turn it on again and everything is ok. If you can tell me what the problem is. Thank you in advance. The computer is AMD FX6300 6CORE AND THE GRAPHICS ARE SAPPHIRE R9 290 4GB

[@ozinusa]

all i get is mdmi and analog flashing in the corner, had a geek squad dude come round cost me 158 bucks , and he said was it needed rebooting , having the same prob again now its back to its hdmi analog flash

[@arik212]

You're a legend! This helped me so much i thought my pc was broken you saved me thousands!

[@paulh1493]

What you did does sometimes works but your explanation is wrong it has to do with Windows fails to id the device correctly or forgets or the handshake the plug and play function the order in which it looks at what is connected. When you unplug the cable it renegotiate the plug and play. It been a problem since windows 95. Microsoft always blames everyone else. It has all ways been buggy with mismatch monitors or VgA/hdmi/dmi.

[@MincePrince]

Extend displays worked for me 👍

[@BuLLeTzgaming]

So i recently got a second monitor from a buddy and someones it boots right up and it works fine, go to sleep after turning off the system next afternoon it doesn't display anything. its ON and i can drag things over to the second monitor but it doesnt display anything (how i know its on its not the same dark black as when there isn't power) this is so frustrating giving the fact that i use it to monitor things and for coding aswell ive swapped out monitors with an very old 12inch monitor and it works fine i dont know if it got hurt or its busy dying please send help xD any advice (ps i use a vga to hdmi adapter it works fine on the smaller monitor no issues) thanks in advance

[@nicksyahrilstorror5183]

Mine is working, but it flashes black for about 2-3 seconds randomly. Im on Windows 11 and connected to a Samsung TV.

[@cxulegnagrass5274]

Mine is, my CPU is a company CPU and I restart it. Now that I did it, it's just a blank screen. It needs a second monitor but I don't have that... And I have to buy a GVA converter just so I can connect the hdmi to the cpu- it'll take me a few days and I hate it... 😢 I've got work to do... Is there any way to figure it out... I'm losing hope

[@patrickkloiber741]

None worked, I cant even see my mouse cursor :(

[@sugarfreestreaming8699]

...same with me., None of my options worked. Usually when I unplug the monitor that doesn't turn on and plug it back in - both monitors turn off and then come back on... I have no idea why.

[@patrickkloiber741]

@@sugarfreestreaming8699 so there is a power cable with ur pc and a box in the midle, try to move that around or unplug worked for me

[@sugarfreestreaming8699]

@@patrickkloiber741 so we discovered what was actually going on is that when the Display Port is plugged into the 2060 on my system, it overrides the HDMI cable for the main display and the main display becomes the secondary display. I had to instead use a DVI cable in order the main display to keep it's primary status. But it's giving me a Resolution error because the DVI cable is so old and asking for a dual-link DVI cable (upgraded version).

[@tiaanferreira2624]

thanks dude! unplugging the monitor worked for me!

[@imelclores7483]

I tried unplugging and plugging all cables back from my 2nd monitor but it did not make any changes. Does this mean that it is now a hardware issue?

[@yollabolly7944]

My monitor is not black screen but when I click on an app from the desktop recycle bin opens instead like it keeps reverting back.

[@shubhamgujarathi2282]

Ok so I noticed a strange thing happening. My monitor only works when i plug in both- the vga, and the hdmi cable. Even if remove one, the display stops working. I have two outputs from the same cpu going in to the same monitor. What might be the issue here?

[@shubhamgujarathi2282]

@Evan Hughes You can try with two hdmi first. Cant say mate, I am still wondering how it worked for me!

[@tahshasydnor2442]

I have the same problem- Did you try the VGA cable as well and did it work?

[@chow4910]

I have a laptop setup with my external monitor as a second screen. It's an iiyama g-master GB34 and I literally just locked my laptop screen and came back to find my monitor screen on but back-lit is black. For the past two days, I've tried to access the OSD menu, use 3 different HDMI cables, tried connecting a pc, 2 different laptops and a ps4 but nothing is popping up apart from a black screen. There isn't even a "no signal" error message popping up. This points to my monitor being the issue. I just don't get it, surely this can't be the end of my monitor..from just locking my laptop screen?!
