Sleep Mode?

Hello all,

I am working on a friends FLEXATXSTC BRO Essential 700c machine, and the we
are not getting anything from the monitor. The monitor works fine (tried on
a different machine), but we can't get anything when hooking up to the
original machine. I am thinking that there is a sort of sleep mode to
blame, but I don't know how to disable it (or if that's really the problem).
Could someone help me?

Could be the motherboard, had that happen to my sisters and found a
motherboard on ebay, fixed the no video problem.

One Gateway system I got several years ago had a problem when it arrived
with the monitor not getting a signal. I opened the PC up and reseated
the display card, and it worked fine.

Of course, if your system has an integrated display card, that's not
something you could try.

Is it possible to disable the integrated video card and install a new one,
if so any recomendations?

If there is nothing displayed on a known-good monitor, there could be any of a
number of reasons why, mostly due to failed components such as power supply,
motherboard, CPU, memory. "A sleep mode" is most unlikely, but it does no harm
to open up the computer and find the CMOS reset jumper, reset the CMOS, and try
again... Ben Myers
