I had to replace my second monitor today as the other one died. Upgraded from 24" to 27" which meant I had to modify my home made stands. After almost two hours of tinkering, finally my monitors are back in place and plugged in.

30 minutes of cursing because the new monitor won't work and I am starting to wonder if I have a faulty connector on the mother board. Replace cables three times with spares I had lying around, and then googling why all I get onscreen is "No input available"

Hmmm, even though I have HDMI plugged in, the screen defaults to the empty D-Sub input. Is it too hard to place a helpful message on screen- "would you like to switch to HDMI input" or bloody just switch to it automatically!!!!
