I have a old Compaq Computer which runs with Windows XP system. I have a w2207 Flat panel monitor hooked up on it. The computer and monitor were safe kept in boxes for about three years, or so. This last week, I got them out of their boxes and connected PC to monitor and all cables. I turned computer on and worked just fine. The open screen showed Windows logo and soon after, my desktop screen. I left it running the entire day. I did not do anything with it and at late night, I turned off and went to bed.
The next day, after tuning it on, the monitor showed the message : monitor going to sleep". It did not open after moving mouse or hitting space bar. I turned computer off, on again and monitor stills on same sleeping mode. So, I research the internet for other tips on how to wake up monitor.
I found one I have no tried before: turn PC off, turn it on and press windows logo key in keyboard until wakes up monitor. It worked on my first try. The computer and monitor were OK and ON.
I remember I had to update Windows and connect it to the Internet. To be bale to do just that, I had to be able to connect to the internet. So, I did the "connect to a network" step. The computer asked to restart it. When computer came back from restart, the monitor went to the "monitor going to sleep" mode again, and never woke up.
I tried Monitor in my laptop and worked just fine. I turned computer on and off and fan inside of it works just fine. Light on power bottom does not blink continuously. It is a steady light for most of time. I tried a movie and music CDs, Flash driver (in monitor) to see it wakes up video driver....nothing worked.
I opened hard driver box and cleaned dust. I unhooked all cables from computer and monitor, hooked it up all over...no use.
I have already tried everything I found in the internet and on HP web site, to make it work properly again, but no success.
If someone know how I could make it work again, I appreciate the help.
PS: I cannot see anything on screen other than the " monitor going to sleep" message. I cannot see windows logo, or anything else. I cannot do the "press start + control panel + etc" steps.
Thank you.
