Does the monitor come back on when you move the mouse or press a key?
If not, I would say that the monitor is on the way out. What type is it (CRT/LCD?) and how old is it. Have you checked the cable? Make sure that it is connected properly and that there are no bent pins in the connector, etc. I have heard of people enabling the BIOS default settings to fix a blank monitor problem, but I think the monitor was blank from startup.

Yes it comes back when i press a key. I have checked the cables. It is a CRT
monitor. It is 5 years old i think. Any suggestions? "Eric" wrote: Does the monitor come back on when you move the mouse or press a key? If not, I would say that the monitor is on the way out.
