I had it working until everything was shut down for the night. When I turned everything on I had no video and still don't.
Thank You

It's probably something stupidly simple ( not you, but the fix). Every connection is a possible cause for your dilemma. Have you got a spare computer that you can also try some of these ideas on?

I'm thinking you may have a bad connection ( cable, adaptor, plug ), if you have tried 4 different vga converters, and 4 different rf converters/adaptors, then I would suspect a bad cable ( coax, rca, vga, etc ), but you may also have a port that is suddenly not working...and gone bad!

Start with changing out your coax cable for a different one, then a vga cable, then any other wiring connection ( I once had a wire break in the plug end of a coax cable, and trouble shot everything else, knowing that the cable was fine the night before) that is in the video chain to the 2nd monitor.

I am sorry in advance if this is a dumb response but try checking the channel on the tv and make sure it is on the correct one. I think it should be either 3 or 4.

go to www.monoprice.com and get the pc to tv video converter ( KLV2000) for $26.00,cheaper that what i used to used ( Maxview pc to tv converter ) with my old laptop( Dell insp. 1000) that has no s-video out , just had a vga, and make sure your tv/monitor is turned on first before powering up your pc
