Okay, so I just pulled my old computer out from the corner it has been resting in for the past 8 months or so and decided to try and start her back up.
Anyway, first I plug everything back in like it should be set up and hit the power button and the fans all spin up and the lights come on and everything but then that's it - no display, no beep(s), nothing.
The hard drive light is constantly on though, so I'm guessing that the problem lies somewhere in there. I don't have another hard drive to test out or anything, so what are my options before just going out to get a new hard drive? AND is it the actual hard drive that is having the problem? I mean, if there is no display or ANYTHING (except for a small flash on the screen when pressing power) might it be something else, like the entire motherboard?
What do you expect the problem is and what should I try and do before giving up on the system altogether?
Thanks for any help that you can provide.
