Heres the story. Had a friend go to turn on her computer, and as she was hitting the power button, she claims to have been shocked by static electricity.
Pushing in the power button seems to send power to the computer, mobo gets power, computer sounds like it boots up, even the temp dial in the front glows and appears to be fine.... however, nothing ever displays on the monitor.
So far, what I have done is checked that the monitor is fine, so it has to be something with the computer.
I have replaced the motherboard, RAM, and videocard (because I don't know whats wrong) and the same thing still occurs. Powerup but nothing on the screen.
My only guess now is that it is the power supply. Which isn't too hard to replace, but just wondering what else I can do to check whats working and whats not working.
Thanks~~
