Hey,
My computer will not boot and has been having this problem lately. When I hit the power switch, all the lights come on, both on the front of case and on keyboard.
However, they stay on and I dont get a signal to the monitor. I took it apart last night and put it back together again after doing a bit of dusting in there.
Tried using different power connecters, using "Y" spliters, and pulling all the ribbons.
Same result. I did notice later that the vid card fan was not moving though. But, the computer's been on for the last few weeks and runs fine when on.
I'm thinking that if the video card fan is dead, the card is dead?
Hoping to get confirmation of this before I go and buy a new one, for I dont have access to one right now.
And if the card is dead, I can understand not getting a signal out, but I'm confused as to why it would stop the boot progress.
All suggestions and comments are welcome.
