Oh it boots up?

Try it with another monitor?

The tube could be blown in the monitor.

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!

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.
