Just bought an acer Predator G3610. When I connect the HDMI cable to my TV it briefly searches for a signal then ends up black saying “Weak or no signal”.
I’ve also tried connecting it to an old monitor that uses VGA(something) and it too registers the computer but stays black.
Tried all inputs and all options in the menu. Still no change.
No adapters on the VGA. Is it possible that the cables are obsolete?
The TV is a Samsung SLO1.
The computer only emits only a single beep when activated.
Both TV(hdmi) and monitor(vga) refuses to show me anything despite tapping F8.
No logo or anything, just black and then “weak or no signal”.
There is a third port that I think is DVI (I don’t know much about this stuff, hence my presence here). It’s like the presumed VGA but with more concentrated dots and a cross on one side. Would an adapter work?
VGA -> DVI or DVI -> VGA
What’s best?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
VGA = analog
DVI = digital
HDMI = digital + audio
I think it’s time to return the tower for a refund or exchange.
I agree with riider but it wouldn’t hurt to re-seat RAM and V-card.
Don’t void any warranties by opening the case. Get permission first. May be just a case of a loose cable or card.
A single beep is good. No video on boot is bad.
