"No VGA cable" error on monitors on reference computers

Hi all,

There is apparently a growing trend of monitors in the Ref room giving the error message "no VGA cable" floating on a black screen.

Look for the row of buttons on the lower right corner of the monitor. The power button is the lowest button in this row and should be on.

The middle button in this row looks like an arrow pointing into rectangle with rounded corners (apparently that's tech-pictogram-ese for video input). Hit that button a few times until the display shows something other than a black screen. Making sure of course that the rest of the computer is on :)

Many thanks to Darryl for this fix!!
