My dad moved his dell computer around today, and when he plugged everything back in, the computer booted up, however there was no output on the monitor. I tried the monitor on my working pc, its not broke; I plugged in my monitor into the dell and no video again.

I put my graphics card which works in the dell, no luck. I tried the dell's graphics card on my computer, and it works. I thought maybe the agp slot burned out, so I even tried an old pci video card to no avail. I checked to make sure the ram, hard drive, cpu etc are all connected and they are. I took out the cmos battery for a while and that didnt do anything.

My uncle suggested that i check the jumpers on the mobo for video settings,but there are only 2 or 3 jumpers and they arent video related.

I am all out of ideas. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
