| 475643 | 2006-08-02 23:50:00 | The mouse pointer froze, I checked cables, rebooted and there was no signal to the monitor. I've tried a new monitor and installed another working video card with the same result. I've also reseated the memory chips and video card. There are no beeps when booting. Could it be the motherboard or processor? Thanks, Steve |

| 475646 | 2006-08-03 02:15:00 | How old is the CMOS battery?, suggest try replacing (checking voltage) ensuring that the connections are clean. | FrankS (257) | ||
| 475647 | 2006-08-03 02:33:00 | Have you recently updated the graphics drivers? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 475648 | 2006-08-03 02:40:00 | That message just means that there is no signal on one of the colour lines (Green, I think). If another monitor gives the same message, that rules a bend pin in the montor plug. The computer isn't sending anything. A driver problem might give a funny picture, but there should be something on the screen. This is probably a major (or silly minor :D ) hardware failure. Do the the LEDs on the keyboard and the drives flash when starting up? |

| 475649 | 2006-08-04 00:36:00 | The lights on the keyboard and drives do light up. How do I replace the CMS battery? Thanks. |

| 475650 | 2006-08-04 01:45:00 | It is extremely rare that a flat CMOS battery would exhibit those symptoms. I would suggest the probem is more fundamental in the manner of a motherboard/CPU type problem, but the CMOS battery should be a coin-sized silver battery under a clip on the motherboard. CR2032 Lithium is the common type, available at most supermarkets. |

| 475651 | 2006-08-04 02:10:00 | How do I replace the CMS battery? You can reseat memory chips and video cards but you don't know how to replace a CMOS battery? And I am still waiting for a reply to my previous question. |

| 475652 | 2006-08-04 04:27:00 | When you say "no signal to the monitor" do you mean that the monitor screen remains completely blank and you cannot get into the BIOS or do you get a message on the monitor saying "No Signal" | FrankS (257) | ||
