I have this old Gateway EV700 monitor, and I wanted to try to use an old Compaq Presario C500 laptop with it, as the laptops screen is broken beyond repair... I plugged in the VGA cable, and the monitor said
"
OUT OF FREQUENCY
HF : 76.7kHz
VF : 49.0Hz
OPERATING FREQUENCY :
HF : 30-70kHz
VF : 50-160Hz
POWER MANAGEMENT IN (Counts down from 20 seconds) "
"Power Management" is just the monitor putting itself in sleep mode (As I call it, you most likely know what I mean) ...
I don't want to have to get a new monitor, as mine works perfectly fine...
BTW My Compaq mentioned doesn't boot into Windows(TM) , so I cannot change the display settings for the monitor output..... (I say this, because other forums say WIndows(TM) has a setting for changing the "refresh rate (Hz)" )
How could I fix this problem???
PS. My Compaq also has an S-Video out, but I cannot get that to function, as when I plug it into my TV, it remains blank (yes, It is on the right input)...
