Windows 10: Monitor: Input Signal Out of Range

Good day!

So I have this laptop running Windows 10 with a broken display no display at all and I connected it to a monitor to be able to use it. However, I cannot use it properly since it says "input signal out of range" and a black screen background but the laptop seems to work fine. So I checked some old forums available in the internet and disabling the Intel display driver worked fine. So I can use the monitor now on normal mode however, I cannot even run games and some applications which is most probably due to the Intel display driver being disabled. I also tried updating the driver in normal mode but the display on monitor suddenly went black and the "input signal out of range" message appeared again. So currently, I am running it again with the Intel display driver disabled and I am wondering how to properly fix this because I need to run some specific software which might need an enabled display driver.

Thank you in advance for the help and responses.

INPUT SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE while playing Wizard 101

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

• Since when are you facing this issue?
  

This happens if the signal from the video adapter exceeds the scan range of the monitor. The video card is feeding the monitor a signal stream in excess of what the monitor can accommodate. The two main causes for this are that either the resolution
or the vertical frequency is set high.

You may try the troubleshooting steps listed in HP and Compaq Flat Panel Monitors - Flat Panel Monitor Displays Message about
No Signal, Signal out of Range, Sleep, or Power Save and check if it helps.

"input signal out of range, change to 1600 x 1050 @ 60 HZ"

Hi,

Here are the reasons why you're getting the "input signal out of range, change to 1600 x 1050 @ 60 HZ" error:

• The monitor cannot accommodate the set refresh rate (e.g. 60Hz).
  
• Outdated graphics card driver
  

For us to effectively assist you with this, we'd like to know the following:

• Which build and version of Windows 10 are you running on your device?
  
• What is the maximum possible refresh rate can be set for your monitor (refer to monitor's manual)?
  
• Were there any changes made to your computer prior to this issue?
  

We're looking forward to your reply.

 

Input signal out of range after Windows 10 Update

Hi all, @Michaelvas17 - attached is the information I was able to get using the steps you recommended (see image below).





@bobkn - unfortunately, it is in fact an Intel driver, and from doing a little research online, it doesn't appear that they have provided drivers that are compatible with Windows 10 (nor will they). (See https://communities.intel.com/thread/49444, especially the final post).

@macinric - I would love to do this, but unfortunately my monitor does not actually have a DP jack - just VGA and DVI.

Any suggestions?? This is quite the problem.
