Ok... there are several things that can cause that symptom... here is a place to start...

All of the following requires that you unplug stuff... make certain you know where they belong when you plug them back in... write it down if you must or take pictures of them....

This is the least likely but must be done before testing other possible causes since these would affect the other test... Disconnect all drives connected to the motherboard and if there are any add-on cards ( except video ) remove them... I shouldn't have to say this but do it with the power off... then try to turn it on. If it does start... power off again, plug one device/add-on card in at a time and repeat until you've isolated the culprit.

The next two items... power supply and motherboard itself. If it's the MB... you'd have to replace it to test but the same holds true of the power supply. You can get power lights on the MB if the PS is bad... so that is the next step to test but requires a test PS or a new one if you don't have a compatible one to test with.

If it isn't the PS... that means the MB or CPU is likely to be bad. If the system is very old.... finding a MB that is compatible with the current CPU and memory may be difficult or impossible. If you have to replace all 3 items... you almost may as well get a new system since the cost will be close to half or more of what a new one runs. If you have a compatible CPU... you can test for that by swapping them out... but if you can't get your hands on one... you'd likely to need to get replacements for both.
Thank you for always being there for us and trying to help :wub: I read ALL ub your abvice eben if it doesn't pertain to me cuz your knowledge is important to learn frums :D

Rdsoks comments are right on if you need to dig that far.

What is not clear from your post is if the monitor itself is working. Main computer box may be OK, and the monitor has failed.

If you have another monitor, try hooking it up, or if you can, move the suspect monitor to a computer you know works.

Sometimes it's the simple things. Ask me how I know ( actually, don't, cuz it's embarrassing!)

Oh Ratchets, I authored da book on doin stoopid stuff ! :unsure: embarrassin wiff a Capitol E :laugh: yup dats my motto :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::smokie:

The one I was referring to in my previous post was exactly that. Spent two hours troubleshooting, just to discover that the monitor was not plugged into the power. Power indicator light had failed long before, so I didn't realize that was the problem.

And I'm supposed to be a professional! :(
