I've got a black block in the upper right hand side of my monitor. It says the following in yellow letters: DisplayPort NO SIGNAL.
I googled that and followed the suggestion to unplug the cable and reconnect it. No joy. Any suggestions?

@Lindy DisplayPort cables are notoriously difficult to plug in fully, requiring a lot of force to finally snap into place. Often they look fully in when they are not.

You may also have activated a screen-in-screen function where two sources of the video can be sent to a single monitor. One would be in a little box and the other would fill the entire screen. That would explain the No Signal message.

@jurban @Kalos I think I might have done that. My elbow hit several keys at once. I don't know how to deactivate it. And right now my computer won't boot up again.

@Lindy @Kalos
The setting is usually on the monitor. You might try unplugging it from the wall. Otherwise, you need to figure out how to activate the Menu on the monitor and deactivate that setting.

@jurban There's a menu button under the front of the screen. I was able to bring the menu up, but I can't move around on the screen using up/down/right/left buttons. I saw something before about PIP settings, and that is a setting on the menu but I can't get to it. @Kalos

@Lindy @Kalos @stueytheround

The PIP setting is for Picture in Picture, so that's what you need to edit.
If your navigation buttons are not working, you may have a faulty monitor.

@jurban God, I hope not. This has been a really good monitor. I had figured that it must be the PIP setting and have been wracking my brains to figure out how to fix it.

@jurban @Kalos @stueytheround Well, I feel like something of an idiot. My son pointed out that I wouldn't be able to navigate the monitor menu from the keyboard (duh), and showed me the keys on the bottom of the monitor that did that. Anyway, the picture in picture is gone. Thank you.
