rgangsta 43 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 Well, a few hours ago, my mom decided to paint my room. I had to move my computer from the corner. I made sure everything was turned off and then unplugged them. Now, I try to turn on my PC and the monitor won't turn on at all. At first, the orange light quickly blinked but now it doesn't even turn on anymore. I've event tried switching the power cords. The PC itself turns on and my mouse and keyboard light up as usual. So sad right now. Well, I don't think I'll be able to be on anymore until I can find out what's wrong or get a new monitor. If anyone has any advice, please share with me because I've done a lot of Google searching and nothing has worked. Right now my PC is just on the floor open. I'm going to try to remove my RAM and re-install them and see if that works. Bye for now. :'( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rgangsta 43 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 I wish it was in my brain. I'm using my bro's laptop. I don't really like my PC anyways. All I care about is the hard drive. It's really hard and annoying typing on this laptop. The "A" button is broken and half of it is missing. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madanchi 18 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 it could be anythign thats doing it, firstly make sure its connected fully into your gpu and plugged in lol (i know, but this sort of thing has happened to everyone), make sure your gpu is in propperly (take out place in), the power cord is conencted to your gpu right? ig not yours might not have it if its an old gpu (just look if there's a small square with some round sockets in it), press some random buttons on your monitor :P your mum's gonna fix it < _ < lollath, if u open your case please make sure to lose static (place both hands on case), is it dead? just use a multi meter to find out, plug monitors vga into your brothers laptop and see if that works keep me updated ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey 9 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Eh, well with my monitor the connector (whatever you wanna call it) that connects the cord was damaged. Doing the almost exact same thing as yours, turns on stand-by just fine, but when the computer turns on it seems like its gonna work but then the light just blink and I get nothing. Tried cords and nothing worked, switched in some other monitor just to see if that would work and yay! Got a new one after that...so, yeah, could be that.

rgangsta 43 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 @madanchi I checked eveything to make it work. I ame to the conclusion that it is the monitor because my mouse and keyboard ligtht up while the screen doesn't. I disconnected the monitor from the pc and only left the plug attached to it and tried to turn it on. I heard a little buzzing hum just like a TV would do when you turn it on and the power button became blue but then 5 seconds later, the hum would stop and so would the light. By my mom fixing it, I meant ahe's going to a repair shop. :P @Joey My mom says if she can't find a repair shop, ahe might buy a whole new monitor. I so hope she doesn't find a shop. >.< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey 9 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Maybe its TV only...I dunno...all I can think about is the 3DS right now. xD But yeah the glasses-less 3D screens exist, not sure if the TVs are out yet or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 I highly doubt its a problem with your computer. Taking the RAM out and putting it back in wont do a thing. its most likely a problem with your monitor. Try other computers connected to it. If the screen works for them you know its a problem with your computer. If it dont work then your stuck with getting a new monitor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecowolfsteen 14 Report post Posted September 11, 2010 If it dont work then your stuck with getting a new monitor. Sorry for this guys but...ONCE AGAIN POL! It's not "It don't", it's "It doesn't"! Please, watch your grammar or I will kill you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted September 11, 2010 How many graphics cards do you have? The graphics card could be lose or shot or if you have 2 it could be trying to use the wrong one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madanchi 18 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 check the fuse before anything! I doubt its that anyway BUT thanks Pol! that reminded me, my friend had the exact problem a couple days ago. If you have 2 gpu's (1 main one obv, and then an onboard gpu) just take out the gpu card and slot it back in firmly with the the screw/clip secured so it isnt loose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
