I’ve even tried going into the master menu

hold 2 whilst you press power. Then press 1 and you will be taken into the master menu or via the F in the main menu.

Either method gives me no DVI

Glad this post is still around. Was having the same issue as everyone else with my 2245. If I hadn’t found this I would have probably given up and used the vga.

Thanks a million..

I had the exact same problem on my vx2235wm, previous computer was on VGA port, then I hooked up my new computer on DVI, all was fine for 3 months, then it wouldn’t work, tried this method and now it works perfectly.. who would of thought..

Thank you many times over for this post. You just helped me fix a Viewsonic VG2030wm that stopped sending signal over the DVI port (though the VGA port still worked). I thought the DVI port was dead due to a chip or some connector burning out. Thanks so much for posting this 5 step method and saving me time and money!

Hi there. Tried this with my Viewsonic VX2025 + Nvidia 7800GT.

Worked great.

I remember a few years ago I had this with the same Nvidia 7800GT when the screen’s DVI went screwy.

I let my sister use my LCD for a couple years (who used an ATI card), and the DVI still did not work.

Brought the LCD back home tonight and found this site. I saw all the positive feedback so I thought I’d give it a shot too! and IT WORKED YAY!

The only thing I did different was for step 3- disconnect the D-Sub from both the PC and the monitor to ensure only the DVI was present.

Thanks a lot!

I have a ViewSonic VX1962wm with a DVI connection that is unstable (on a Radeon 9250). The D-Sub and DVI cables are both connected, though I’ve only been using the D-Sub because it actually works. I will try the technique above of removing the cable. Cheers!
