HP Desktop turns on but the screen says no signal?

I have a hp slimline s3020n PC which used fully turn on... monitor reads "no signal", but the office is on (lights up and I can hear the fan). I already bought a new monitor and a new cable, but it still does the same thing, which leads me to believe this is not not a parts problem. I also tried to reset the BIOS of the computer but nothing happens... can someone help me as to what I can do?

Hello

As there is a message 'no signal' you work your way back to the screen and the connection cable to the graphics card and the motherboard to make sure that everything is connected.

Buying a new monitor is an expensive way to solve this problem, you can swap comes to a friend's computer to see, this is the cause.

Here are the specs of your computer:

You have replaced the monitor and cable between the monitor and the computer, the next thing to look at is the graphics card.

As it is a desktop computer, you can open and edit the graphics hardware.

If it is not the graphics card (onboard), this is normally a problem within the motherboard itself.

Do you get that unique "beep" when you turn on your computer, which means that the motherboard has spent his own self test (POST), or you receive a series of 'beeps '?

If you do not receive a single "beep" you have hardware problems.

See you soon.

  • Qosmio X 770 turns on but the screen remains blank

    So my Qosmio X 770 turns on but the screen remains blank, it was randomly turning every so often, but now it is just blank.

    The hd works fine again, I tried to plug it into a TV to see if it works, but no signal is found. I was informed by a friend that it could be a problem with the graphics card, I wonder if it can simply be exchanged if I buy a new one or if he joined, and I have to replace the whole motherboard?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Even if the HARD drive is faulty, the laptop should be able to IT and you should see the home Toshiba on the internal display screen.
    If its definitely NOT drive HARD problem.

    You said that you have connected the laptop to the TV. You see the start of Toshiba on the external monitor (TV) screen? Are you able to access the BIOS by pressing F2?

    If this is not the case, there is certainly a hardware problem.
    It could be a fault of memory modules, graphics card or the same motherboard malfunction could be possible.

    GPU problems or the motherboard, the whole motherboard must be replaced and that's expensive fix because mobo belongs more expensive laptop.

  • Satellite P10-304 turns on but the screen is off.

    Hi there... Please someone help me. I m having this problem since last week with my P10-304... it was working fine... but now last week I turned it off and turned the morning we return on the use of battery that he kept on going stand-by mode... and when I turned it off again and plugged the AC adapter is on, but screen didn't seem to turn on...

    I thought that the screen has gone... but last night I turned it on. He walks and went to hibernation! Don t know why. And now the same problem again... I turn power turned blue and the screen is blank (as it s off) I put t know what to do. I tried using the recovery disk. But nothing comes on the screen, as I said, the screen is blank as is it turned off s.

    Please help me... !!!

    Hello

    Well, this is a strange question. It's not easy to say what can be the problem.
    But first you must remove the battery and the AC adapter for 1, 2 hours.
    After this procedure, use the power supply for the test to work.
    If the problem is still topical, I guess that it s a hardware malfunction.
    In this case, the best way is to contact the service partner.

    Best regards

  • MacBook Pro 2015 turns on but the screen remains black...

    Hello

    Today, I tried to turn on my MacBook Pro, but my screen stays black. When I press the caps lock button, it turns green which I guess means he lit. I've also heard the startup chime it generally makes when you turn on. I already tried to turn it on and off several times and reset the SMC and the LANDAU... The screen is always black.

    Could someone help me please?

    Also a few minutes ago the fan has started to make noise in the macbook...

    But the screen remains black.

    Thank you

    Shaynidw

    Hi shaynidw,

    From your description, it seems that your MacBook Pro is powered, as soon as you hear the startup chime and see the light on the keyboard.  Thus, it seems that the problem may be with your screen or the video card.

    On the screens you see when you start your Mac

    Power on

    When you turn on your Mac, display is off (black) and you hear a startup chime. Your Mac Initializes his BootROM and memory (RAM live). It then performs a power - on that self test (POST) and a test of BootROM. If you hear beeps or chimes at this stage, this indicates a possible hardware problem and start stops. If you add memory to your Mac, check that it is installed correctly.

    White screen

    After that only walking self-test is completed, your Mac sends a video signal to your connected screens. The screen may appear black or grey at this point in the boot sequence and backlight of the screen should light up. If you do not see the image appears on your screen after a few moments, try increasing the brightness of your screen. If you use an external monitor, make sure it is properly connected and turned on.

    shaynidw, if set up the brightness of your screen does not help, you have an external display (computer screen or TV) that you can attach to your MacBook Pro to test?

    In addition, you can try to start your computer in safe mode to see if you get different results.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the problem persists, you may need to take your computer to an Apple Store or service provider authorized Apple , so they can inspect the video card and cables to isolate the problem.

    Take care.

  • HP Pavilion g7-1261nr turns on but the screen remains blank

    I turned on my HP Pavilion g7-1261nr the other day, and the fan ran hard, as well as the caps lock and number lock LED flashes once every two seconds. The screen remains blank during the process. Could someone help me with this problem please?

    PcMatic I invite you to read the links provided, because they are there to help.

    If you entered my link, you would have seen this:

    Caps Lock/Num Lock LED component tested error Condition

    LED flashes 1 time CPU CPU not functional

    2 times for BIOS BIOS corruption failure LEDs blinking

    LED flashes 3 times non-functional Memory Module error

    LED flashes 4 times Graphics Graphics controller not functional

    Map of 5 times the system board failure system general LEDs flashing

    Authentication failed for the BIOS BIOS 6 times blinking of the LEDs

    According to the times that they blink, of what I mean, it's once and then a pause. Which would indicate that the CPU is broken.

    Only a repair can fix that.

    I was wondering if someone have an idea as to why my laptop (which was working perfectly last night), now has a black screen when I try to turn it on.
    I read in some other forums who offered to take out the battery and hold the power button, but that didn't work...

    Remedies?
    Thank you.

    Is a busy HARD disk when you start your laptop?
    You hear Windows sound?

    If possible try to connect your laptop to the external screen or a TV to see if you can see anything on an external device.

  • Satellite L40 is power on but the screen is blank

    Can someone help me with a problem?

    I'm not a computer expert and my laptop won't do anything. If I put power turns on but the screen remains blank

    Hello

    Try this:
    -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
    -wait for about ~ 40 min and reconnect the two parts
    -then try to turn on the laptop

    If this does not work and the laptop does not start in windows OS, then you could try to insert a bootable recovery disk Toshiba and could attempt to reinstall new OS.

    If the procedure still does not have a hardware malfunction is possible, and in this case only the authorized service provider would be able to help.

  • Acer blue 720 and the fan are on but the screen remains black

    Hello

    I appreciate any help that can be provided.  I tried to remove the batter on my daughter 720 and reinsert, but this problem persists.  I can hear the fan and the blue light turns on but the screen remains black.  I tried to rest for 30 seconds and esc, refresh and power.

    Thank you

    Well, when the scrween does not at all (even in text mode which allows a recovery) then it is most often a problem with the cable bwteeen the motherboard and screen, most often following it is a failure of the screen (which requires generally a matter of co-location as cracked screen) and from time to time, it is the motherboard. Probably time to contact Acer support to see on a repair.

  • Laptop screen turns off but the system never sleeps when closed.

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Alienware M14x and quite frequently when I close my laptop, the screen turns off but the system will not. When I reopen it, the screen stays off and the system seems still to go but no matter what I press on, the screen does not turn. To fix it, I just turn it off power then back on the power button. I know that my laptop is still running because the fans are still running and the lights on the front and on the keyboard are lit. I don't know if this is a problem common or not, but it's really annoying.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! If there are other details that might help, do not hesitate to ask!

    Thank you!

    -S.

    Firstly I find a windows command can tell you if you have something that prevents the mode 'sleep'. Run as administrator command window and use the command: powercfg-query.

    If you have my problem and SRVNET is active, you will see this:

    SYSTEM:
    [DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
    An active remote client recently sent requests for this machine.

    2. to add SRVNET to the exempt list, do the following at the command prompt (EXACTLY as shown below.)  DRIVER MUST be written in capital letters):

    powercfg - requestsoverride DRIVER '\FileSystem\srvnet' system Awaymode

    and for good measure (not sure if necessary but I did anyway)...

    powercfg - requestsoverride DRIVER "srvnet' system Awaymode

    3. once all is said and done, it should look like this after you run:

    powercfg - requestsoverride

    [DRIVER]
    \FileSystem\srvnet SYSTEM AWAYMODE
    srvnet SYSTEM AWAYMODE

    4 enjoy again the "sleep mode".
