Title: Monitor \'says no signal\'
Post by: clowd on July 21, 2005, 05:35:32 PM

When I turn on one of my CPUs,  the monitor says \'no signal\'

The keyboard lights do not turn on either

Any idea what the problem is?

do the fans start running?  If nothing comes on then something fried.. i\'d try to swap PSUs like souly said.  It\'s trial and error after that to find out what blew.

When I turn on the computer the fans run

I\'m not sure what a PSU is but if it has to do with power I don\'t think it is a problem unless the keyboard lights not coming on mean something bi

,  I can network into the hardrive from another CPU,  so I don\'t the HD is shot

The motherboard maybe?

It can still be a psu, even if the fans run. It may be giving enough voltage to power the mobo, just not the cpu.   What type of cpu, motherboard and power supply unit (psu) do u have.

It could be the air gap between the monitor cable and the video card.  If it becomes to large you need to get a spacer in their to close it up.

I\'d freeze the spacer though.  Helps with conductivity.

Did you check the connection to the monitor to the PC?
