    No display....

    When I turned my computer on this morning, there was no display. I waited a while, but still nothing. I restarted in a few times but I still can't get anything to display.

    There are no beeps or anything, and for some reason the hard drive light flashes a couple of times when I switch it on, but then stays off.

    Any idea what could have happened? I was using it last night and it was perfectly fine.

    Thanks hex

    Re: No display....

    Yeah, everything is plugged in fine. I took out the cable, checked all the pins, plugged it back in tight and still nothing.

    And eh, no .

    Don't think this is even worth mentioning.... but my room was really cold last night, I mean REALLY cold (brrrrrr), could that have contributed to anything lol?

    Re: No display....

    Eh weird...

    I tried a different cable and it didnt work, so I reverted back to the old cable.

    I powered it up, and just left it for a while. Came back, monitor was still in standby. Then suddenly it came on, like it usually does if I had just started the machine.

    Basically, it seems as if there was like, a delay in starting up lol? What could have caused that :S ?
