Thread: Display Problem

I have a Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB RAM and 250 GB hard drive. It has Windows XP SP3 installed. I also have an external TV tuner box connected to the computer for watching cable TV on the same monitor. I have a major problem and am very concerned. When I switch on the system, there is no display and the monitor power light keeps blinking. I think the machine is working properly, but I am not getting any display. When I switch on the TV tuner box, I am able to watch TV, but the computer does not work. Please help.

The possibility of your computer being faulty working is high. To confirm this, try disconnecting the monitor from the TV tuner box and connect it directly to the computer's VGA slot on the graphics adapter or on board graphics connector of the motherboard. If you get a display, your TV tuner or the cable connecting the TV tuner to the computer could be at fault. If you do not get a display even after bypassing the TV tuner, then you should try cleaning the motherboard, memory chips and the graphics card and try again. If it still does not work after cleaning, then you would need to trouble shoot the system using different spares. Call a computer engineer and hqve it inspected if you do not have spares.

Hello
Monitor or System has no Power
First thing is to check if the system powers up when pressing the power button, if not check cable connections and the power source. Next is to check if the monitor powers up when you press the power button. If not, check power cable and the power source for the monitor.
If this procedure solves the problem, there may be a loose connection in the power cables of the system or the monitor.
Monitor Is Defective/Loose VGA Cable Connection
After checking if the system and monitor have power and you still encounter the no display problem, try to swap monitors with another computer to check if the monitor is defective or not. You can also try to reinsert the VGA cable to the VGA port of your video card to see if the connection is loose or maybe the VGA cable of you monitor is defective.
Video Card Problem / AGP/PCI-e Connector Problem
After verifying that the monitor is working, the next step is to check the video card. Power down your computer and unplug power cables. Open your computer and try to reinsert the video card. After inserting the video card, power up the pc to check if this solves the problem.
If this does not solve the problem try replacing the video card. After replacing the video card, if you still experience the problem, your system board or agp/pci-e connector might be causing the problem. You correct this by replacing your motherboard.
