Oh it boots up?

Try it with another monitor?

The tube could be blown in the monitor.

Will try that, thanks.

about a month ago there was an electrical storm and i think it frazzled my modem a little, its not as reliable as it was and takes an age to connect. thats on the dell 1.5ghz but on my comp i have cable so its ok, god i hate 56k, the world would be alot less angry, alot more things would be processed quicker, found quicker and obtained quicker if the world used only cable or faster. jus think at how much time it would free up for people, thus making the workplace alot more productive and the WORLD A BETTER PLACE!

..ahem, good luck man

Also if he bought another video card and put it in, make sure the monitor is hooked up to that one. If its to the built in one then it also wont work.


I'm just giving you hope fore some stupid excuse why it isnt working lol.

Thanks for all the replies. I think he need a new computer.

some parts may be usable tho, one of my computer got struck by lightning once and only the modem, cdrom (dunno how it got up to the cdrom) and motherboard were fried.

How did you test what worked and what didn't?
