HP Compaq Presario turns on monitor stays blank

When I turn on my HP Compaq Presario SR1650NX unit seems to be booting up ok fans and lights come on but the monitor stays blank, blue screen for a few seconds, then turns to black. Connected a known working monitor to pc and got the same results. Could this be a video card issue?

Yes it could especially when it does not work on another monitor.
Try another video card.

Hi,
refer to the users manual, or download if possible.
Yellow/Orange could mean that the computer is In Hibernate/Sleep Mode et,c. usually restored by pressing certain keyboard keys Or pressing and holding the power on button For 4 seconds or more.
Other Possibility ( graphics/VGA driver or device, Corrupt Or missing )
You could change the graphics card, Or remove the motherboards Cmos Battery, for 10 seconds, which will restore the Computers Bios, default settings.

There isn't one, there's no need for it: the plugs can go only in their correct locations and positions. The only thing you must be careful is to put the SATA  hard disk cable in the first SATA connector.

Do you see the BIOS splash screen or anything?
Try booting into safe mode by pressing F* as soon as you power on the computer. If the monitor works, then it is a bad driver. Roll back to a previous restore point, boot to last known good coonfiguration. Last Known good configuration is available from the same as the safe mode screen.

If this is helpful, please comment and rate. Have any other questions, please let me know.

My compaq presario cq60 wont turn on

Does the laptop boot? Sound? Do you see a "ghost Image" in the monitor in a bright light? If so, Could be backlighting, Inverter, on/off switch that shuts the monitor on/off when you open and close the lid. Can you boot to safe mode with networking? If so, Open the Device Manager, Uninstall the Graphics Adapter, reboot, the software will apply a generic driver, If the Graphics adapter has not failed completely.

Serious issue. Problem could be corrupt CMOS, corrupted OS, bad hard drive, motherboard, or other peripheral.

Try disconnecting everything except memory chips and see what happens. See if unit turns on; if so introduce one of the disconnected items one by one until you come across the situation where it does not work. Then you have identified the culprit.
