Hello,
is there a way to make my windows think my monitor was unplugged/plugged again (software side)?
A little bit of background to explain why i'd want to do such a ridiculous thing:
My problem is my monitor loses signal upon windows boot.
All works fine until just before windows takes over hp startup, then my monitor goes "no video signal".
I can still wait, hear windows login, put in acc and pass by memory and have it log in...i can do pretty much everything, except i have to go by memory because i cannot see anything.
The video signal does not come back even if i wait for hours.
Nothing changes if i turn the monitor off.
Nothing changes if i power the monitor off.
But when i unplug the DVI cable, i hear the "pnp disconnect" sound.
When i plug the cable back in, i hear the "pnp connect" sound and screen starts working again.
I've tried solving the root issue, because "replug the video cable whenever i reboot my system" is not an acceptable solution for me.
Updating graphic drivers did nothing (already up to date).
Uninstalling and reinstalling graphics drivers did not help.
Reimaging my windows did not help (well, worked for first boot, then back to "normal").
Getting new monitor did not help.
Getting new DVI cable did not help.
Getting another (extremely old) monitor and using VGA to plug it in did not help (worked exactly the same - signal lost upon boot).
I'm not going to buy new motherboard (got integrated graphics) nor willing to buy graphics card just for this.
So, is there a way i could make my system think the cable got unplugged/plugged again? Maybe some service handling the connection that could be restarted? Or some device that could be disabled/enabled? By the "pnp disconnect" sound i'm 100% positive my system immediately knows i've unplugged the cable - but how does it know?
