The cable perhaps - I've had several calls for failed TFT screen that a new interface cable fixed and one with the mini-mains connections that have been stressed to the point where they were not making a secure contact.
Also: It's worth resetting the system to VGA mode before you start altering video boards and displays, They should all work to the basic VGA mode, and if the system is set to VGA before the change it may avoid having to use safe mode etc. after changing the system JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Gundersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 6:40 PM Subject: Help req quick... Loss of video ----------- Hi folks Computer is in Alicante Spain - I am in UK south coast so diagnosis crap but here is the info I have. Computer is Novatech (UK maker) with EliteGroup MOBO and P4 2.3 CPU 512 Mb memory nothing spectacular but 2 x CD/DVD RW 160GB Hdd. Monitor = old 12" tft and newer 15" TFT both tested on laptop and work Ok. so this has been eliminated from dysfunction. Symptoms - fault. Suddenly monitor flickers and dies. Reboot and Ok then flickers and dies. Left a while reboot Ok but flickering then blank..... So far - case opened and all fans running so POWER = OK (maybe) AGP card pulled, contacts wiped clean and reseated. Memory pulled cleaned and reseated. CPU Fan removed and cleaned then heatsink removed and cleaned. All replaced and computer powered up.... BEEEEEEEP Beep. No vid. I intend taking a new AGP card out to Spain on Saturday but a quick response as to what else might be required - space is limited in suitcase so be sensible?
