| 187038 | 2003-10-27 06:56:00 | Pent 800mh. Win. M.E. Message on the monitor is that there is no signal, check cables etc. Cables connections are ok. Archives tell me that it could be monitor (unlikely), or graphics board. With integrated graphics would this mean a MOB replacement ? | BobM (1138) | ||
| 187039 | 2003-10-27 07:28:00 | Tell us how it came about Bob. Was everything OK, then one day you booted and got the message, or did it happen after you did some work on the computer, or disconnected and reconnected the monitor? If the leads have been unplugged it is possible that you have either a bent pin in the plug, or one pin has retreated back inside the body of the plug, it does happen. Give us some more info. If you have integrated graphics and they have failed, you can get back into action by fitting a graphics card. However I'd try the monitor on another computer before I dug too deep.

| 187040 | 2003-10-27 08:43:00 | Hi Billy , The unit is my neighbours and she just turns it on and thats all., never touches anything else. Apparently the message came on at start up so I removed and replaced the monitor plug into the main unit but no joy. Yes I guess the next step would be to take my monitor over to prove which end is at fault. Thanks | BobM (1138) | ||
| 187041 | 2003-10-27 09:06:00 | This is not getting at the manufacturer, but is this PC made by the PC Company, if so they sometimes have on board video (which is disabled) and a video card, plug your monitor back into the video card and not the on board video and yes if it is a Pc Comany computer some of thier models do this If I remeber correctly the fix is to power the monitor off with the system as when the system is powered down and the monitor is left on you will get a message in red saying " no signal detected". | beama (111) | ||
| 187042 | 2003-10-27 09:20:00 | Try another Monitor first. Intergrated Grahics will not mean a new motherboard particularilly. Has the motherboard got an AGP slot? Can you disable the on board video? |

| 187043 | 2003-10-27 09:45:00 | As I say the computer belongs to my neighbour so all I know is that it is a PC Company unit, nothing else, so give me a day or so and I may be able to give you some more information, Thanks so far. | BobM (1138) | ||
| 187044 | 2003-10-27 10:20:00 | bob seeing as it is a PC Company computer, first read my earlier post and donot go to extremes. As stated earlier some models they produced did do this. We have 30 of them where I work and they all do this. Its just a matter of turning the system off along with the monitor and power up the pc before turning on the monitor and also if there is on board video and a video card use the card as the on board video is normally disabled on the motherboard. |

| 187045 | 2003-11-07 08:59:00 | Sorry about the delay (Upgrading my computer), About the monitor problem, there was a Savage graphics board in a AVG slot so tried a new board but no different. Tried the Savage board in another computer, no go, so had to assume that both the board and the slot were faulty so managed to find a PCI graphics board and after installing it in a PCI slot we were away again. The only problem so far is that on trying to run Norton's Systems Works 2003 it partially starts then all freezes, no mouse, keyboard, no ctrl alt delete. I will remove the program and reinstall and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the help | BobM (1138) | ||
| 187046 | 2003-11-07 19:35:00 | Rage not Savage. Not even close | BobM (1138) | ||
| 187047 | 2003-11-07 20:19:00 | With ME, it is really sensitive about hardware/driver changes. Something to try, is start in safe mode, have a look under the device manager and delete all under "display device" except 1 listing of the new video card. Restart. You could also look under the other devices for multple entries of the same device, removing all but one. BUT do not do anything under the system listing.There are meant to be some multiple listings there, and permanent harm can come of removing something that you shouldn't in there. The other devices are safe and quite often I have deleted the device completely and let windows find it on restarting. |
