When i press the power button on my computer i get no video signal and the Busy light on the front of the machine stays steady but the Green light blinks periodicly.

Im thinking SOMETHING might be loose or stuck beacuse the side of it was kicked and when i opened it up i heard a clicking noise that SOUNDED like it was from one of my Harddrives.

Help would be appreciated.

-CasvalFirst of all, can you confirm it is coming from you hard drive?

Second of all, if it is coming from the Hard Drive, STOP USING IT and post back.I Unplugged the power from one drive and ran it then repeated that and found out that its actually comming from my ReWriter drive.Oh good.

I have a THEORY as to your problem. The CD Drive may have been damaged and Windows is trying to boot from a CD which may or may not be in there.
I suggest (since you are in the computer), Unplug the CD Drive and try to boot the computer again.The drive has been Unpluged but the lights are the same and there is still no video.When you turn the computer on, exactly what happens?

Since the computer was kicked, make sure everything is connected properly. Perhaps a cable GOT loose or something.

Any idea how hard the brunt of the attack was and where?It was kicked in the Bottom right side opposide the motherboard where my Drives are.

I have checked all of the connections from the drives to the board/powersource and from the Graphics card to the Motherboard and they are all still Tight.

What happens is i press the button and the Two lights on the front light up and i get no Video signal, Even when its plugged in and Screwed down.

It was kicked and slightly dented by an 9 year old.Do you have another monitor you could try?

I would try re-seating everything. For example, remove the RAM and then put it back in. Unplug the Video Card, and then plug it back in, ect...Was it hit while computer was on? Your hard drive might have been damaged.Thankyou for you help Carbon.
My computer is up and running now, after i reinserted the RAM and Videocard it started RUNING good as new.Nice job, Carbon Quote from: Broni on August 16, 2008, 10:59:33 AM
