Hi, so recently I got a second monitor for free because it would be useful an efficient for me. When i tried to hook it up it didn't connect. Kept saying no input signal. I know the monitor works just fine because I tried plugging it in to the DVI-I (to VGA converter) port on the back of my computer. That worked fine. The other port which it doesn't work on is the DVI-d port. I bought a converter (DVI-d to vga) for it. It can't be the monitor because i tried out my original monitor using the DVI-d port and it didnt work. I am not sure if i am doing something wrong here or maybe the converter is faulty. (I got it for 3$ on Amazon). Need help. Thanks!
