monitor: hp 2311x
my dad's friend basically gave me this monitor in a get it now,pay later sort of deal.
nice guy eh?
well basically it came without a power cord or input cord[vga dvi hdmi]. I found a temporary replacement cord which gives the monitor power. The light on the bottom right lights up.
but whats peculiar is the screen shows no response. It remains as dark black as it was before it had power. i try clicking the buttons looks for a response,but nothing shows up.
no notificstion that theres no input.
no light
nothing, it just remains a brick except the led light which turnd to yellow after a minute.
so is this normal? Will there be no light on the screen till its connected to the pc or should it act as a tv without anything on? Just a dull blue screen or something
