The monitor to get working
Ok, I built a computer for a friend and then shipped it to them. While I built it and installed everything, it was working fine. It gets to them 5 days later through UPS and they're getting a "no signal" on their monitor. The person who has it, doesn't know too much about computers, so I'm trying to talk them through it all on the phone.
The cpu fires up, lights and fans are running, dvd drive ejects, the hard drive light flashes and comes on.
I had them clear capacitors with the atx. Also cleared the cmos by jumper and battery. They reseated the ram and video card. I had them touch the heat sink fan to see if it was loose or shifted (it didn't budge). They tried another monitor. I had them try both the onboard video as well as the video card. I also had them check the sata cables to make sure they weren't loose, double check the power cables.
What else is there? Only other thing I can think of is to remove the hard drive and video card to test those. Reseating the cpu. I don't know if they can do those things. I'm all up for any ideas anyone has. It's just extremely difficult to do when I'm not actually looking at the computer.
