My brother's computer have been Blue screen of death process and we decided to take the computer to the computer shop to repair it. As soon as he got the computer back the computer was running fine but the monitor doesn't show anything? please help!

try a different video card....

 

[fitzie005]

yeh i did...i even used my video card..
im not even sure if its an AGP slot..because the slot isn't divided (or all AGP slots are different?)

Im pretty sure the AGP should be brown

maybe its just a bad connection from the back of the tower, from travel. just take open the case, and make sure that all the cords are snug....and try posting in the computer hardware/software place..

 

[fitzie005]

the connections are fine...
i just found out that when i removed the connection from the computer to the monitor, the monitor turns on and displays 'no signal'...does that mean i need to install the video card?...if so how am i able to install it if i can't see anything?

oh by the way, this is wat my brother's agp slot looks like..

Well, without a video card, how would you think the monitor would turn on? You should install one
