Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop which I often use with an external monitor on extended desktop mode. I will often switch the monitor between this and another laptop. One time when I was switching between them, the monitor connected back to this computer, but the screen stayed black. Looking in the settings I can tell that the monitor is being recognized by the system, and I can drag my mouse into the area that would be being shown by the monitor, but it is just not showing anything.
I have tried this PC on another monitor and it also does not work. Conversely I have tried this monitor on another PC and it does work, so I know that something went wrong with the machine.
I have tried to uninstall and re-install both the graphics card driver and the monitor driver to no avail.
I am on Windows 7.
Any ideas?
