    Went away for month came back PC now does not show anything on screen, UGh.

    So I went away. I put the Pc in storage. Came home set it up and it doesnt show anything. One thing I just noticed is the usb mouse and keyboard do not light up when plugged in . I plugged them in another computer , and they light up hmmmm:unsure:. Forgot to say when pushing the on button it lights up and you hear something and the fans spin.

    Hello

    When you say the fans spin. Do they spin as if they were at full power? Also you can try this, power down pc before powering back up, unplug your keyboard and mouse. ( i am assuming they are usb) power pc back up and plug in mouse and and keyboard one at a time… Give the pc time to recognize ( give it around 3 to 5 minutes a piece).

      Howdy. Just tried your idea , no change unfortunately . Yes the fans appear normal speed. The keyboard and mouse were just symptoms that I noticed after the fact .

        Make sure the machine is unplugged then…Reseat all of your hardware, and all connections. While you are in there, might as well clean any visible dust.

            Actually I better do the rest , pull the newer solid state hard drive and the memory sticks as he suggests.

              Yea if it was in storage and has been moved around, perhaps something came loose. Best to make sure everything every single connection is secure. Simply unplug and plug back in everything that can be . Making sure that prior to doing so the machine is unplugged from the wall outlet.

                    Option 4 maybe your only option if there is still no display?

                      Finished reseating the parts . I plugged it in , no screen but a odd symptom is the mouse will lite up only when its half plugged in the usb slot in back and it kind of blinks. The keyboard did not light up no matter how I played around with the plug.

                            In the manual page 15(link in post above.
                            Clear the CMOS RTC Ram - NB you must turn the computer off.
                            When you reboot if it works you will have to set the date and time in the bios.
                            This from page 8 in the manual
                            Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling compo- nents to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
