If the image suddenly disappeared on your monitor, do not rush to despair and go to the service center or, moreover, buy a new one. In this article, I will offer you some tips on how to fix this type of problem yourself, as well as talk about the reasons why there is no image on it.
So, let's begin: there is no picture on the monitor, what should I do?
- Check equipment power. To do this, you need to see if the monitor cable is firmly connected to the power source (outlet), if connected correctly, on almost every model of any monitor the indicator light should be on or blinking.
- Check if the cable is connected to the system unit correctly . It will not be superfluous to remove the cable from the connector for 10-15 seconds and insert it back. Naturally, this action should be performed in the absence of computer power.
- In the event that there is no image on the monitor, and when you turn on the sound from the system unit (as a rule, it sounds like a squeak), the video card most likely jumped out of the connector. In this case, turn off the PC, remove the system unit cover, remove the video card and insert it again. Turn on the computer. If the video card malfunctions, color bars may appear on the monitor screen . It fails due to active cooling and inadequate ventilation. If there is no image on the monitor after overclocking, restore the factory settings, and after switching on, monitor the temperature of the system unit.
If visual signs indicate that the video card has burned out, you must replace the part with a similar one. - If only the fan operation is heard when the PC is turned on, and the system boot does not give distinct start-up sounds, then the motherboard or the PCI-connector is damaged. Here you can try to rearrange the motherboard in another slot.
- Very rarely, but still the problem may lie in the RAM.
You can find out exactly which part caused the image to not appear on the monitor by the method of alternately replacing or rearranging it to another computer.
These are almost all the reasons inside the system unit for which there is no image on the monitor.
Also, problems may be as follows:
- If the image disappears during system boot, the reason is the resolution. The solution is simple: boot the system in safe mode and change the resolution to a lower one.
- Sometimes a situation similar to the previous one occurs due to a malfunction of the video card.
- When setting a higher resolution, the image disappeared. The solution is similar to paragraph 5.
The following reasons and their solutions:
- There is no image on the monitor if you do not approach it for a long time, although the PC is working. In this case, the regular screen saver worked. In the desktop settings, you can disable it altogether or change the response time.
- If the monitor stops showing signs of life after the keeper has worked, the reason lies in the energy saving system. This process is most often called “Sleep Mode” or “Standby Mode”.
- When the PC is running on an uninterruptible power supply, there is no image on the monitor. Most often, this means that it is simply not connected to the UPS unit. If this is not the case, then try reconnecting the monitor to both the uninterruptible system and the system unit.
I hope you will be able to independently determine and eliminate the reason why there is no image on the monitor.
