But why does it keep saying, CHECK SIGNAL CABLE?...I've checked the plugs and the outlets and everything and its still not working...what do I do? thanks everyone...the cable people have nothing to do with it...if you know nothing about computers then please dont bother to answer this question.

The problem may not be your monitor or cable at all. You could have a bad Video card on the computer itself. See if you can borrow a friends monitor and see if that works. If it doesnt it's most likley the video card or Slot on the mother board.

Here's what I think you should try to do:
1) Twist the 1 or 2 circular things into the moniter really tight.
2) Unhook it and check the little knobby things to see if any are bent.
3) Call the troubleshooting hotline for your computer type. (It should be in the manuel)
4) Call the cable guy and ask him to help you out.

Hope I helped!

You have to squeeze those 2 circular things into it securly and it will work, or unhook it and check the little knobby things to see if any are bent.
Hope it helps,
