| 764941 | 2009-04-14 07:01:00 | Tried turning on the slightly older computer this evening, and to my suprise, nothing comes up on my monitor :illogical All the monitor says is "No Signal" So I plugged the monitor into the onboard VGA adapter but again, the same result. "No Signal: :confused: Computers fans are bluring away quite nicely, and the red light at the front of the pc is fllashing away as normal. Any Ideas? :waughh: |

| 764943 | 2009-04-14 07:36:00 | If the PC has a Graphic Card, you have to remove that before plugging into the onboard Graphics. If they still wont go, try resetting the BIOS, either by the jumper on the board, or removing the CMOS battery, then putting it back, If it wont go after that, same thing no signal, board may be knackered. Edited: The No signal message is basically saying the Monitor cannot detect any signal from the PC's Graphics. |

| 764944 | 2009-04-14 07:38:00 | try another monitor that you know is working first if it still dosn't work: Is the graphics chipset integrated or on a seperate card? if it is on a seperate card check that it is properly inserted also try another card as it might be the card that has failed. if you are using a laptop press fn+ the output button on your keyboard (usually fn+4 or FN+5) a bois reset may help (worked for me on my server |

| 764945 | 2009-04-14 08:13:00 | Thanks for the replies guys :) I've tried it on my monitor in my sig, testing both the DVI and VGA outputs on the graphics card (agp card), and the VGA output on the motherboard (with the graphics card removed), but still no luck :(. It's a desktop PC as well. Wainuitech: How do you reset the Bios? |

| 764946 | 2009-04-14 08:23:00 | Remove the CMOS jumper on the mobo, (while its off, of course), for about 30 secs - 1 min then put it back. Then try again | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 764947 | 2009-04-14 08:58:00 | Does it beep? Most probably the cable, check to see it is tight and has no bent pins |

| 764948 | 2009-04-14 09:00:00 | No beep :( Reset the bios by removing the battery for about 6 minutes, but still no display :crying |
