The computer powers up, but the monitor shows nothing.
I had a problem like this before (On a different computer)... The CD-ROM wouldn't eject and nothing else connected with IDE cables worked. I remove the IDE cables from the cd-rom and the motherboard, and leave the power on to it... and the CD-ROM works. I tried disconnecting all IDE devices (Including hard drive) and it still won't display anything on the screen (A computer can start with nothing attached to it)
I'm not going to pay an overpayed technician to look at it
There was a plastic piece jiggling around the bottom, but it's the same colour as the case, so I'm not concerned about that...
Also, the fan makes a funny noise. I had an old computer that made the same sound, so I don't think it's that...
The computer worked just fine for the person I got it from. Possible damage from shipping?
