blank screen
« on: March 06, 2008, 05:01:42 PM »
I have old Dell computer running win98. I moved it and when I put it all back together all I got was a blank monitor. I have power to the monitor and have even tried an different monitor to no avail. Can someone please help me? I wouldn't bother but my daughter needs to use the floppy disk for some school work. Thanks

Check your signal cable. Make sure it insert itself well to the monitor and computer..

Try removing a side panel and removing and re-seating the video card....
As always when working insude the case remove all power sources and take anti-static precautions.
