Nearly everyone I know has a computer monitor--why should I expect something 
different in OP's case?  Even if he lives on a farm, so what--he has 
neighbors.  Besides, he is not obligated to take our advice if it is too 
much trouble to try it.  Switching hardware parts is a valid method of 
troubleshooting and its simple.  And it is what I start with before I start 
looking for complex software explanations.
