Hey guys,
Currently have a Dell Dimension 4700 fixing it for a friend, and there is no VGA output (i.e screen goes idle even with PC turned on).
The Dell dimension has onboard graphics- but i have done the usual testing to no avail, theese are the things i've done so far:
1) Check connections , IDE, power, SATA ect
2) Tried two different GPU's- PCI-E and PCI respectivly.
3) Reset CMOS, removed CMOS battery- (although at the time i wasn't entirly sure of a Dell Specific CMOS reset- so i am wondering wether i have corrupt the bios and hence the reason why screen won't show).
4) Tried different HDD's.
Only things i am yet to try is:
1) Replacing the CPU- because i have no S775 CPU's in my procession at this time.
2) Using a Recovery BIOS to recover the BIOS
Does anyone else have any suggestions or anything i am obviously missing here?
Many thanks for your time
