I should have reported it in OP bcause I've had similar experiences so
I had already tried that, anyway, yes I did try that... several
times now, to no avail.

I can also report that now I have tried a known working `Monitor to
PC' cable with no better results.  I get the `Asus start screen' then
the `no signal' error notice.

Can anyone say from experience if having a Monitor mechanic fix it
will be worth it?
