My family comp has developed a new and interesting set of problems. It started a few weeks ago, when (or so we're told) a surge went through our unprotected cable modem, through the router, and into the computer, through the ethernet card, and finally shorting the motherboard. Okay, so we bought a new mobo. Put it in, made sure that all of the jumper settings were exactly the same, and . . . nothing different.
eMachines T2482
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
DVD-ROM
CD-RW
3.5" floppy
Integrated video
PCI Ethernet card
80GB HDD
I took out the HDD and plugged it into my computer with no problems. The data's there, and it's not corrupted or anything. Tried putting an old AMD Duron 750 processor - also a socket A processor - in there. Same result. Processor fan spins up, PSU fan spins up, it makes all the sounds that accompany a normal start up - DVD drive and CD drive light up, HDD gets some activity, all the usual sounds - but NOTHING on the monitor. Its light keeps blinking green, like it's plugged in but is getting no signal. I lean close, and can hear the HDD still spinning, ready to go, and the fans are still going, but other than that there's nothing.
What's up with this machine? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
