Solved: Monitor No Work

$

Samsung monitor model S24A350H will display no computer output.

First off, I've connected a good monitor to the computer and it works. I've connected the troubled monitor to another system and it will not work on another system so the problem follows the monitor. This monitor has analog and digital (HDMI) inputs; but, we have nothing here that puts out to HDMI.

If I turn on the monitor without its being connected to the computer, it searches for the HDMI for about three seconds and then the analog for about another three. Then it displays "Check Signal Cable", displays a red, green and blue dot and "HDMI" all in a small rectangular box that floats all over the screen.

If I connect an analog cable to a computer then turn it on, it looks for an HDMI signal for about three seconds (as above), then checks for an analog signal for about half a second (instead of the three seconds above) or less and then goes blank/black. Based on the fact that it displays searching for analog for such a short time when analog is actually connected, I assume it is sensing analog is connected but can't do anything with the signal.

I have eliminated the CCFL and the inverter as a possible cause and there seems to be no manual settings for user-selectable HDMI or Analog.

And I have read the troubleshooting section of the manual which is no help.

Anyone know of any magic dust for this?
