computer monitor won't detect input?
Ok I lost my power supply to my s232hl acer monitor several weeks ago. I just got a 19v replacement power supply for it. I plug it in and it wouldn't detect my VGA input, so I try my extra VGA cable plus 2 different HDMI cords. My monitor still won't detect a signal. What am I doing wrong here? By the way there is only one VGA and one HDMI port on my desktop.

I actually just misplaced it. The new supply I have is specifically for my model. I was just hoping I could find a fix here before I take this to geek squad instead

Please clarify "lost"

If it means you outright misplaced and cannot find the power supply - then the new one should work and I'm not sure what to tell you.

If "lost" means the power supply died while in use - it could be that in its death throes that it sent some bad power to the monitor and took out some of the monitor's circuitry at the same time (ie powersurge)
