I was thrilled to finally receive my brand new Sceptre monitor. I promptly got it set up, plugged in and eagerly anticipated the moment the signal would turn on.
But I only saw a dreaded “no signal” message. My heart sank then I researched it to find out why my monitor has no signal and how to fix it.
In this article, I will explore why your sceptre monitor has no signal and how you can fix it in simple steps.
Let’s get started!
Why is your sceptre monitor no signal?
There are various reasons why your monitor has no signal. Some of the common causes are hardware issues, such as incompatible or outdated graphics cards, faulty cables, or incorrect display settings.
In order to solve the issue, you should check all the connections between the computer and the monitor.
If all connections are secure and up-to-date, then you should try adjusting the display settings on your computer to see if this helps to resolve the issue.
1. Loose cable connection
A loose cable connection could commonly cause a sceptre monitor not to receive a signal. If the cable connection between the monitor and pc is not securely fastened.
It can result in an unreliable video signal or no signal at all. In order to solve the issue, you should inspect the cables for any visual damage, such as fraying or crimping.
Ensure that all connections are tight and secure. If it does not resolve the issue, you should replace the cable to ensure it is not faulty.
2. Damaged ports
If your monitor has a damaged port, the device will no longer be able to receive signals from the computer, preventing images from being displayed on the screen.
It can happen due to improper handling or by attempting to use an incompatible cable for connection.
In order to solve the issue, you should identify which type of port has been affected. If it is an HDMI port, you should check if all of the pins inside are still intact and undamaged.
If you find that the port is damaged, then you should replace or repair the affected port.
In order to replace the port, you should contact a local computer repair store or manufacturer to avoid further damage.
3. Faulty cable
A faulty cable can be due to various issues, such as the cable being damaged, frayed, or not securely connected to the device.
Poorly made cables are also prone to developing faults over time due to low-quality materials and poor connections.
In order to solve the issue, you should ensure that all the cables are tightly connected and in good condition.
If you find a faulty cable, you should replace the cables entirely to ensure the optimal performance of your monitor.
4. Faulty Gpu
The GPU processes all graphical data and sends it to the monitor, so if there is an issue with the GPU, then this could be causing the “no signal” display.
In order to solve the issue, you should ensure that the GPU is not faulty or clogged with dust or debris.
In order to clean the GPU, you should turn off and unplug your computer from power sources. Then gently use compressed air to blow away dust or debris accumulated on your GPU.
You should ensure that you hold the can more than five inches away from your GPU at all times to avoid damage.
After cleaning away dust, you should also use cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol to remove any stuck dirt or residue.
5. Faulty RAM
RAM is an integral part of a computer processor. It is a temporary storage area for data and instructions used by the processor.
If the RAM becomes damaged or malfunctioning in some way, it can cause the processor to be unable to access the data and instructions it needs to work properly.
In order to solve the issue, you should always run a thorough malware scan on your system to remove any malicious software which may be causing the issue.
After completion, you should try resetting your RAM modules to clear any existing errors from their memory banks.
6. Corrupted Bios setting
Sometimes it may be due to an indication that the BIOS settings may be corrupted.
It can happen due to various reasons, such as a power surge, an incompatible hardware installation, or software changes.
In order to solve the issue, you should reset the BIOS settings to fix the issue. It can be performed by pressing or holding down the CMOS reset button on the motherboard for a few seconds or by using a jumper switch if it is available.
Resetting the BIOS will return all settings to their original state, and it will correct any errors caused by corrupting.
If resetting the BIOS fails to fix the problem, you should update them. Most motherboards come with their own
7. Disable power save mode
Power mode helps reduce the amount of electricity a monitor uses when it’s not in use, but it can also interfere with proper functioning.
You should ensure that the power save mode is not enabled. If it is, then you should disable it to fix the issue.
In order to disable power mode, you can typically press the mouse or keyboard button more than 7 times; it may wake the monitor from sleep.
If it does not solve the issue, you should:
Press the window key+I to open the setting menu
Now click on the system, select the power and sleep settings
Now ensure that the sleep and screen settings are set to the never
Click on ok to save the changes
8. Wrong input source
The wrong input source is not able to send the signals properly. It means that the monitor receives an incorrect signal from the device.
In order to solve the issue, You should ensure that the cable connections are compatible with each other.
If either of these components is not compatible with each other, then no signal will be displayed.
For example, if you have a DisplayPort cable connected to an HDMI port on the monitor, no signal will appear on the screen even though both pieces of hardware can display video.
If there is any incompatible connection, you should change it to the right input source.
