I recently bought a new monitor and pc, and I tried connecting them using displayport today. However, the monitor simply states 'no signal' before going back to sleep. The PC does start up though, and my mice and keyboard all light up. I tried to use HDMI, but the HDMI port on the PC is partially blocked by metal pieces for some reason. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue?
By the way, am I supposed to be able to access the monitor onboard menu even without having a display cable? Because the menu buttons on the monitor don't do anything when I press them, so I'm thinking it might be a monitor issue
