Monitor will be fine upon start up, but will display 'No Signal' before the welcome screen comes up.?
More than likely the Windows resolution is set too high for the monitor, so the monitor cannot display the screen. You'd have to connect the computer to a monitor that can display the resolution it is currently set to and lower it.

How can I connect a set top box to a laptop through an HDMI cable?
Most of the answers here are only half rightIt is true that the HDMI port you find on laptops are output only, they do not accept HDMI inputWhat is not true however is the “fact” that it’s impossible, it is indeed possible to get HDMI input on a laptop…. You just need extra (external) hardwareWhat you need is something called a “capture device”, in this case, you need an HDMI capture device, many of these capture devices exist on the market and are widely used by YouTubersFirst, you need to make sure your laptop can support HDMI capture devices, HDMI capture devices require a high speed data connection, if your laptop has USB 3.0/.1 or Thunderbolt, you should be fine, FireWire may also be a possibility, but most laptops that support FireWire may be too old to support HDMI input reliably (I will explain why later)Next, you need to find an HDMI capture device, look for the brand Happauge or Elgato, Elgato sells HDMI capture devices as “Game Capture Devices” (these are the devices YouTubers usually use) as their main use is for streaming content from a game console like a PS4 or Xbox One which only support HDMI outputRest assured that while they are listed as “Game Capture Devices” they are not limited to working with game consoles, they also work fine with Blu-Ray players, DVRs and almost anything that has HDMI output, the only thing you need to look for is if they support HDCPOne device that may work for you is the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S, it uses USB C, but also comes with a USB C to USB A cable allowing you to use it with a standard USB 3.0 portGame Capture HD60 S | elgato.comThere is also a USB 2.0 version of this too, and this USB C version may semi-work with USB 2.0 when using the C to A cable, though keep in mind USB 2.0 is slower, which can either cause a delay or lower resolution, just keep that in mind
My laptop turns on but the screen is black. What do I do to fix it?
Other answers have jumped to a hardware fault. Perhaps not incorrectly, sure. But I'd first make sure we're not dealing with a software issue, or any other "have you tried turning it off and back on again?" sort of things.First, and foremost, does your laptop have a "Display Off" button? I have a Sony Vaio which has one of these. It's a flush bezel button near the clamshell hinge. I have absolutely no fucking clue why it's there. But it is. The only thing I can think of is it's a "privacy" button...for when you can't quite hit the (x) close button on the browser window when your spouse walks in on you ogling (.)'s.Since you didn't post a picture I will assume that you mean the screen is entirely black. No faint glow, no nothing? In other words, it doesn't look even remotely like this [note the blinking cursor]:Have you plugged anything new into your laptop recently? A new USB device? A new external drive? Do you have a docking station? If you have a docking station, does it behave differently if on or off of it?Have you verified that your battery is charged, and that even if not, your power supply is providing proper charging to the battery when it's plugged in? My laptop has a little lightning-bolt LED that indicates the power supply is properly plugged in. Sometimes those stupid connectors can become loose -- or worse, crimped [kids knocking the thing about, etc.] -- so that they don't make a proper connection. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down with my laptop that had been "plugged in" for hours only to hit the power button, see it appear to go through its start-up groans, only to have it fizzle-out and not work shortly after.Do you have a recovery disc for the OS you have installed? What happens if you turn the power on with that in the laptop?Do you have a USB memory stick? If so, there are a bunch of different things to try here Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick, even booting DOS from it.
