Had some work done on my computer tower. Was working when the tech left, but stopped and went down afterwards. Monitor will not turn on although it sounds as though power is getting to it. Will simply not turn on anymore. The color was never right on it in the beginning. It is a television/computer monitor.

SOURCE: Won't turn off and cylces through colors

Hi. This evening, I had the exactly the same symptom. I found a way to fix it.

When you power up the screen, keep the power and auto buttons both pressed. That seems to reset the screen. After that when you open the menu, a small F appears on the left side of the contrast icon. Go to that red F with the arrows and press menu. Another menu will popup. Choose 'Burnin' and set it to off. That's all !

Note: do not try to change other settings, they depends of the harware...

SOURCE: Monitor Flashes Colors when system powered down

Reset factory settings. Push the selection button (second button from the left at the bottom of the monitor, next to the AUTO button), then go the the Factory Reset by pressing the minus button. Press the selection button again, and when it asks if you want to reset say YES by using the minus button. It's a quick fix!

Dell Dimension 3100 won't boot; keyboard fell off the table onto the tower; am getting 1-3-2 beep codes. Is this fixable?
Just because they hit the tower should not have hurt anything.

But, you should turn it off, pull the power plug, then hit the power button, then again and make sure the lights don't turn on or flash.

This make's sure that all the power is gone from the motherboard.

Before you touch the inside, make sure you touch metal, so you don't static shock the motherboard.

Now open the the side up. I would remove the two power connectors, one should be a 20-24 pin and another 4 pin.

Reset them to make sure they didn't come lose.

Check the HDD, hard drive plugs, fan plugs, the CPU fan plug.

Then check the monitor connection, and any on the back.

Try the monitor on another PC, or a monitor from another PC on this PC.

A hard shock to the power supply unit (PSU ) can kill it, it can still turn on the lights but not have the voltage to run it.

If you do all this and are safe and careful checking inside and out, then you might have to take it to someone who can test it.

You can also download the manual so you know what it looks like inside the PC and what the motherboard looks like and how you would set it up when new.

Good luck.

Desktop: Gateway LX6810-01 PC will not power on. When I hit the Power button on the tower, a long continuous BEEP comes on and nothing appears on the monitor. After the BEEP, the On light (on tower)...
Thank you for using FixYa

I would try shutting down the computer in the normal way, and turning off the monitor.
Boot up and turn the monitor back on.
If it still doesn't work, then I would check the cables and power plugs and wall plugs.
Check the mouse and keyboard cable and any other cables plugged into the computer.
The next step requires a seperate monitor or laptop.
Try unplugging the monitor and pluging in another monitor. Most laptops have a common
VGA adaptor jack or even an Svideo jack.
If the other monitor does not work, Then take to a qualified technician for repair.
It could be your power supply in the computer or video controller.

I hope this was useful and please comment if this was helpful to you.

Wont go to normal start up screen!!!
The screen that you're seeing is the self-test of the monitor, as it's already stated. It's commonly caused by having no signal coming from the computer to the monitor. You were advised to check the monitor cable, if you have already done that, then proceed with isolating the problem. Follow these simple steps:
  1. If you have another computer, try your monitor there. If it's also possible, try another monitor on your computer.
  2. If the computer works on another monitor then check the cable for any dents or damage. If isolation can't be done, no extra monitor/computer, then just continue.
  3. Check the lights on your computer when you turn it. The power light, keyboard lights and fans should be all working.
  4. Check for any beeps
  5. If the computer seems to have life but giving no display, proceed with troubleshooting the video card.
  6. If you're not comfortable opening up computer, I advise you to contact a local technician.
  7. Check if you have a built-in video card by looking at the orientation of you monitor cable at the back of the tower. If it's vertical, you have a built-in, if it's horizontal, you have an expansion video card.
  8. If you have expansion video card, proceed with the next step, otherwise contact a local tech or you computer's manufacturer.
  9. Get your computer's manual and follow the instructions on how to open it. If it's not available, then contact a local tech or try to figure it out on your own. Make sure that the computer is unplug, when you open the tower and ground yourself properly (use an anti-static wrist strap).
  10. Expansion video card is usually connected to a brown connector on the motherboard (the big circuit board inside your computer) if it's not, refer to your manual if where it is located.
  11. Disconnect the monitor cable then unscrew the video card from the computer case. Remove it, clean the contacts with a clean cloth then put it back. Make sure that is properly seated in the slot.
  12. Reconnect everything then try to turn it on.
  13. If it works, that great, otherwise, I will highly advise to contact a technician that can personally work on your computer.

My hp w1907 monitor has suddenly stopped working!!as soon as i turn on the tower it just displays"monitor is going to sleep"PLEASE HELP!!!
I love this one. I've actually done this many times before and have been successful.

1. Turn the computer off and unplug the power cord from the back of the tower.

2. Press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds while the computer is unplugged (this drains the remaining power from the capacitors on the motherboard).

3. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.

If that does not work, follow steps 1 and 2 again, but this time:

3. Open the computer while it is unplugged and unplug the power supply from the motherboard then hold down the power button again for 3 seconds. (You may also want to take the RAM out and put in back in)

4. Plug everything back in and turn the computer on.

Backlight out on Philips 200WB monitor
Hello,

It sounds like the inverter is out on the power supply for the backlights. If you can open the monitor and take a few pictures of the boards and send them to [email protected] I will try to cross reference the boards and give you a repair solution.

Dell XPS 400 tower does not power up monitor?
The “self test” on the monitor displays when not plugged into a computer. This means that it’s working. The LED error code 2 and 4 means the video subsystem has a problem. Either your video card is bad or bad memory module. Try reseating video card and/or memory.

Monitor problem
erickalin - it sounds like your computer might have shut down and failed to come back up again. If you have access to another monitor, try hooking it up to your computer instead of the one you normally use (that won't stay on). If the second monitor won't stay on, the problem is your computer. You might have to take it to your local computer geek or computer store to get serviced. If your computer DOES work with the second monitor, you might need to have your monitor serviced or replaced. Good luck!

supposed2b, I think you have the same problem, although your computer doesn't even sound like it's powering up. Your power supply might be faulty or an internal component (CPU or memory most likely) of your computer has died. Double check your power connections and ensure that when you press the power button you hear the computer start up and the light on the front comes on (hopefully green or blue, but not yellow or red). Again, you might need to take your computer in for service.
Good luck!
