Have emachines W2060. Can't get screen to show anything EXCEPT "no signal". Have power to computer and screen. Screen light goes from green to orange. I want to get to a desktop with icons. What is wrong? Thanks in advance. Joe F.
Hi Joe,
Could be one of several things:
1) Monitor cable connection loose.
2) Video card (if you have one) not seated, or bad.
3) RAM module not seated, bad, or wrong kind. (If you have not messed with the RAM, probably not one of these.)
4) If your video is integrated into the motherboard (no video card) your motherboard may be bad. Installing a separate card could correct this.
5) Bad monitor.
Have you made any changes to your system when this happened?
Try to connect another monitor/cable to your computer and try your monitor on a friend's computer to see if it works.
Comment back with any updates.
Thanks for using Fixya.

Thanks weyneard! Bought today at yard sale. Looks like new, she said it worked. All OEM stuff is there and all books are here too. Said it has very little use. All looks virgin. And I have not altered it. I looked inside and it looks all "factory". Nothing missing, nothing added.
I have re-seated the cables. Will seat boards next. Don't have monitor/cable to test with,wish I did. Thanks again! I'll keep trying. Joe
