Working to make IT work for you and your business.
Once you have established that the Power Supply to the computer is working.
You now need to decide what (if anything) you can see on the screen. There are a number of possible options
| Option A | The screen is totally blank, nothing at all appears, and the monitor light(s) on the front are off. |
| Option B | The screen is totally blank, nothing at all appears, but the monitor light(s) on the front are on showing that it has power. |
| Option C | From switch-on the information the screen is jumbled / distorted/ un-readable. |
| Option D | When it first starts up I can read the screen, but when Windows starts the display becomes distorted, or else I get an error message. |
Notebook computers: Options A, B and C above would almost certainly indicate a hardware problem. If you are having problems of this sort with the display on a notebook computer it is best to contact the manufacturer for advice in the first instance.
Remember the secret of successful fault finding is to eliminate likely faults one by one!
