Monitor says "NO SIGNAL"

sdetweil

@Ameyalgudkar if u turn the monitor off and then back on, does it work after disconnecting from the pi?

some monitors remember signal at disconnect.

Ameyalgudkar

@sdetweil yes, it works without any problem if it’s connected to the pi. Only does not display anything saying (no signal) when I connect the same HDMI to a laptop out port.

sdetweil

@Ameyalgudkar no, you missed my question

plug on to laptop [NO IT DOES NOT]

in simple term, display only works if the hdmi is connected to pi and getting input from pi.

@Ameyalgudkar the monitor NEVER works on laptop??

Ameyalgudkar

@sdetweil nope.
But it used to before I installed magic mirror and some modules.

sdetweil

@Ameyalgudkar if u unplug monitor from power, does it reset?

Ameyalgudkar

@sdetweil it does not reset I don’t think it does. because I tried the method you mentioned but it didn’t work.

sdetweil

@Ameyalgudkar wow… never ever seen that before… in 40+ years

Ameyalgudkar

@sdetweil haha yeah even I am not sure what did I do wrong or where. because the monitor used to work fine everything was working well, but this just happened suddenly. Maybe I will just use this monitor on RPI from now on.
Also, I am using it with a DVI to HDMI cable and to micro HDMI. could it be due to any of those reasons?
and I tried removing the DVI and inserting it back as well but that did not work as well.
