    No signal and beeps
    « on: December 14, 2008, 09:02:57 AM »
    I used my computer and turned it off. When I came back it turns on and gives 6 long beeps. There is no signal on monitor. USB outputs don't react. Fans work. Can open cd drive. how do i fix it.

    Welcome to the CH forums.

    First you have to give some details of your pc.  Please read this..

    Go here and follow the instructions.   You may just have a defective keyboard..

      What you can do is provide info on your pc as requested. 

      I found this but the beep codes don't match your description: http://www.techbase.iofm.net/tips/applemac/tip1.htm

      Sorry, can offer no further assistance if you fail to answer questions.

PS i tried switching keyboards and that didn't work

          It is possible you have some bad diodes, or something is wrong with your hardware.  The beeps are to notify you of the problem.
