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:

2) Try changing the cable

Cheers :)

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

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

764949 2009-04-14 09:03:00 What kind of hdd is in it? IDE or SATA??

I would check that the cable and power cable are in properly

I know (if its SATA) and if youre using a molex adapter, theyre pretty crappy the pins in it, can lose contact. No contact, no boot

And whats in it?? Or is this computer, the one in your sig?
