Hey guys.
So my friend went away for a week and accidentally left his computer running and there was a power outage when he was gone which we think might have fried some part of his computer, but I'm not really sure if that is the problem.
Everything on his system seems to be working, the motherboard LED is lighting up and all components are getting power, but for some reason the monitor won't turn on. I've tried swapping out the video card for another one and even dropping back to a PCI video card incase his AGP slot got fried, but no matter what I do, the monitor won't turn on. I've also tried 3 different monitors so I know that's not the problem either. Was thinking maybe replacing the motherboard battery might help, but I doubt it.
Anyone here experience anything like this before or have any ideas on how to fix the problem?
Thanks for the help!
