Re: No video output whatsoever.



what video card?
and if it is pcix did it require a separate power connector and did the new
case/PSU provide it?

My friend took out his motherboard to see if it would fit in a new
case, but when he got it in, there was no video output after turning
on the computer. I've had a decent ammount of experience fixing
computers, so I tried the basic things, flashing the BIOS, trying new
video cards and monitors and such, and all of the components work,
unless they're in that specific computer. There is something that
makes me think that the motherboard is not broken, and that is that
when the monitor is powered on and unplugged it says "No
input" and when I plug it in to the video card that message goes
away, but the monitor stays in stand by mode (with the power LED
blinking orange instead of the powered on steady green). I've never
seen this problem, so if anyone has experienced something similar, I
would like to see if it is fixable short of replacing the
motherboard. Thank you.
