Blank Screen

Expand Post »
I have a Compaq Presario-SR2173WM that a customer brought in, and said that when you plug it in and power it up you get nothing on the monitor. I switched monitors, and tried different video cards, and still get nothing. Me and my boss concluded that the motherboard was bad, and ordered a new one. I just installed it, and hooked everything back up, and still get nothing. When you power it on, the fans come on, but that is about it. Have stripped it down to the essentials and tried to power it on but get nothing, just like it was before we replaced the motherboard. Anything to check that I might have forgotten? Really new to the IT world and stumped at the moment, appreciate any and all help.
Have also tried replacing the power supply, and have reset cmos

Re: Blank Screen

I had one doing the same thing and went through all those same steps. Turned out to be the RAM.

Re: Blank Screen

Come to find out, when we put the processor back in, we did not get it set properly and the pins were not in all the way, put the processor back in and it works fine
