Compaq 5000 Series No Video
I can't figure out what happened. I turned the thing off ,moved it to
the other side of the room and now there's no video.I hooked up the monitor to my lap top and it works fine. When you turn on the monitor if it's not hooked up to the machine I get a message Check video cables. Then when I hook it up to the PC the screen comes up blank.There are no add on cards in the tower so I believe the on board video took a dump. I can't get into the bios cause I have no picture. Any ideas or tips would be deeply appreciated |

Any ideas or tips would be deeply appreciated Well I fixed it. Tried the reseating but didn't make any difference. Did notice that the CPU core was blue like steel that's lost it's temper so swapped it out with a Celeron 633 from a dead emachine,sucker booted right up. I shut it down and rebooted 3 times then defraged and left it running for 24 hours to see if it would stay up. |
