I tried setting up my Gateway FX6710-01 desktop today, and everything was plugged in correctly.. But when I turned it on, the Gateway HD LCD monitor said there was no video singal. I had the mouse, keyboard, speakers, computer power plug, and the monitor power plug and monitor imput wire plugged into the blue colored port in the back of the computer.
The computer turned on, everything seemed fine, except the monitor said "no signal" on it's screen. Could the computer be broken or could there be a problem with the monitor? I paid like $1,260 for the computer, which they said had been been returned by it's previous owner because they "didn't want it". The tech people at the store said they tested it for problems once they got it back and there were none. Did they lie?
I noticed that the computer also came with an adapter for the blue monitor plug that attaches directly to the GPU. The other blue port which has a monitor symbol located on the back of the computer plugs directly into the motherboard. There are two adapters that plug into the Radeon GPU ports that may have something to do with the monitor, but I don't know what.
I hope that the computer is broken. If it is, then I will demand that they get me ahold of one that never once been used and have them set it up in front of me into a monitor to prove to me that it actually fucking works.
The monitor worked absolutely fine back in early September this year literally the last time it had been used. Hooked up to my old and semi-functional desktop. It's funny how the system came with a crossfirex connector when the mobo only has one PCI exrpess 2.0 X16 socket. It is also funny how the computer came with an HP keyboard instead of a gateway one (two entirely seperate companies)
