Hey,
I ahve been given a pc to try and fix and everytime it is switched on the monitor either stays blank or says "No Input Signal". I have tried 2 monitors and they both act the same when connected to this system so I thought it was the graphics card playing up. It has an AGP card in which I swapped for a spare one of mine which I know works and put that in and it still doesn't work. Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks

Regards,
Neil
 
The pc does have onboard graphics but the manufacturer placed a plastic cover over that port so users only use the separate graphics card so I unscrewed the cover and tried that port but to no avail. I don;t even know if onboard graphics is enabled. Let me go and test a different PSU in the machine
 
Just tried a different PSU in the system and it still won;t do anything. All fans spin up, but there is no beep after powering on and as I can't get any output on the screen then I can;t really see where it is failing on POST. The monitor just stays on Standby and doesn;t get switched on the the system like it normally should. - It's a pretty old system so I think i'll reccomend the owners to get a new pc built for them as they will at least be able to get things running on it
