Monitor saying check video cable

[CallmeCorn]

My monitor has been working perfectly for using my xbox and nintendo switch, but all of a sudden it has been saying check video cable. I know its the monitor because my brother let me test it on his monitor and it works fine. The menu buttons haven't been working, and all the videos I looked at were with computers. does anyone know the solution?

Thanks, the monitor is an HP 2311x. it is an old monitor from I think 10 years ago I got it to use it with consoles and it worked fine until now.

Please try performing a hard reset on your 2311x monitor;

1. Disconnect the power cord from the monitor.

2. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds.

3. Plug the power cord back into pc.

Let me know if this helps!

It didn't work, I tried holding it for 30, 60, 60+ seconds and no luck
