C chris Sep 12, 2008 #1 hard drive goes on but monitor doesnt its plugged in and on how can i get it on
L Leonard Grey Sep 12, 2008 #2 Is the monitor turned on? (It's not sufficient to merely plug it in)? Is the video cable securely attached at both ends? Do you see anything at all when you power on the computer (e.g., POST messages)?

T TaurArian Sep 12, 2008 #3 Check all connections to the monitor, cables, power cord etc. Make sure if it has a separate power cord that the switch is actually turned on. If all that checks out, perhaps the monitor is dead. -- TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2009 - Update Services http://taurarian.mvps.org ====================================== How to ask a question: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 Computer Maintenance: Acronis / Diskeeper / Paragon / Raxco
