Ok, I have a Sony computer monitor that I am using as a tv. I hooked it up to the cable box via a hdmi to dvi cable with separate rca's for the sound. Everything worked great for about 2 weeks and now all of a sudden the monitor isn't recognizing the cable box. I get sound for 10 seconds but no picture and then the sound goes away and the monitor goes into automatic shut down because of no signal. Any suggestions?

- Used to work (for 2 weeks) - but now it doesn't....try debugging...

Cheap/Easy stuff first:

- Test all connections involved (if something came loose) -
- Make sure there are no strange bends in the hdmi cable - broken cable can cause issues
- Check hdmi/dvi cable -- getting sound through it, but no picture - need a signal for monitor to stay on.

-- All of the above doesn't fix the issue - get another source and check the monitor itself.

try remembering the on sequence.....cable box then TV and see if it works....if not....TV then Cable box...and see if it works.

Another option is to try disconnecting the HDMI cable and re connecting.

Good luck.
