    Sounds like you have more than 1 connection to the monitor - is there a button where you can cycle through the connection like going through different channels on a tv.

    Are you using your laptop on ac or battery power? Sometimes you might need to adjust battery properties settings for that. Also, you might need to adjust display property, go to the destop and right click, bringing the properties tab up and identify. You Nec LCD4010 has a button, third from the right: power, mute and input and you should be able to cycle through the various selections of inputs. You might need to adjust your monitor's OSM (on screen management) there is a dvi setting there as well. If none of those work, you might want to test you notebook's dvi connection another lcd to see if it works to determine where the actual hardware problem may be.
