Then Im afraid it will have to got to a specialist as there is not alot you can do inside them without the correct gear+there are some very high voltages present.
Sorry I couldn't help further.

You say you put your monitor on you're friends machine and her monitor on your machine.

Try plugging you're friends monitor in your machine using her leads.

Next, and I don't know if this applies to your setup. I have a multi purpose monitor and it needs to be tuned into the pc, cctv, tv or video.

Your computor may not recognise another monitor without configuring it first.

I suspect an installation fault rather than an electrical one
