Computer Screen won't turn on?

My computer screen wont turn on. Help?

  • I'm not sure what type of computer it is because it's was a gift but It wont turn on. The little light by the button is orange but it wont turn green like it's supposed to and I cant get it to turn on...Any Idea whats wrong with it???

  • Answer:

    When the light is orange its has power but is not recieving a video signal. 1 Make sure the computer is not asleep or in hibernate. 2 Check the cable the connects the monitor to the PC, it may be bad. 3 If you have not restarted the computer since you connected the monitor try that. 4 Some PC have more than 1 spot to connect monitors or can run 2 or more monitors at a time, you may be plug into the wrong one. 5 If the PC is a laptop, the monitor out may be turned off. Good Luck

Can you be more specific? Is it a laptop or a desktop? Is it the moniter or the actual computer? Is everything plugged in?

sometimes with my older gateway monitor that would happen after i would unplug the monitor, after i would plug it back it would take a few times restarting before it would work, it would always turn orange instead of green. if everything is plugged in correctly and the computer is running like it should, you might just have to try a couple times. after i would move it would take quite a few times it was frustrating, i called tech support from gateway and they told me i needed a new motherboard, which didnt end up being true. i dont know why it did it.

Check your cables into your computer and to the monitor itself. If they are secure, then you may have a bad video card.

Check all your plugs, your monitor might not be plugged in. don't forget about the power cord. also make sure your monitor is turned on. then move the mouse, play with it a bit. see what works. hope that helps a little bit.
