    Old Compaq 7360--Monitor says no signal
    « on: March 19, 2008, 05:01:50 PM »
    I have an old Compaq 7360 computer I would like to start using again to play old games on that won't run well on XP or Windows ME.
    I used the computer last year.
    I hooked it up this week to an old 15" monitor I had used before but got no picture. So I hooked it up to an Acer AL1012 monitor I use on a newer computer. The monitor said "no signal".
    Only thing hooked up to computer is speakers, mouse and keyboard.
    OH, the green light on the front that means it is on is lit up and the fan is working you can feel the case viberate.

    Are you using on-board video, or are you plugged into a video card?

      Both monitor cables and both monitors work on the newer Presario.
      I am pluging into the computer not a video card

        Sounds like on board video is bad. Is your bios set to onboard or integrated video. Do you have a video card to put in ?
