Dear Booker3772,

From what you have written I assume you do not have a UPS system protecting the PC.

Unfortunately this mean that hardware has been damaged as electricity spikes have caused electrical stress to the components.

It would be helpfull to me if you where giving me a little bit more information but I will try to help. There are a few possibilities though that can narrow down the problem.

1. When you power up the system nothing happens - No noise no fans nothing. - Solution: The complete PSU or the fuse within is fried. (Change PSU and fire up again)

This is the most likely cause but these are also very possible.

2. When you power up the system the system fans, lights, hard disks make noise but you see nothing in the monitor except the sign. (The monitor's voltage regulation pcb is fried due to the storm) Try with a spare monitor if possible and if possible try the monitor to another PC

3. When you power up the system the system fans, lights, hard disks make noise but you see nothing in the monitor except the sign. If the monitor works fine, the PSU and the components seem to run fine most likely the components within the PC have been damaged. Not to the extend that a total failure is present but enough to create a mess. Some of the components will still probably be in good condition though. The only way to test them is by interchange one component with another.

In any case if the PC is still under warranty please go to a repair service centre and simply say that it stopped working. Do not mention storms, its your liability normally to protect the PC.

Hi You say your monitor is now humming. I understand this model has integrated speakers. Have you tried turning the volume on these right down, or even disconnecting the computer from these speakers as they may be picking up a "mains hum" from somewhere. Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya Cheers

Unfortunately this isn't a solution but a request for one, as my monitor does the same thing. D: Anyone?

1st Check the cable that hooks to the monitor side. Then check it at the computer side. By check I mean to disconnect it an rehook it up again so you no it is seated correctly. On some monitors its hard wired so you cant check the monitor side.

2nd if you have access to a second monitor (after checking the cables on your monitor first). Disconnect your current monitor and hook up the test monitor. If you continue to get no signal or picture then you have a defective video (graphics) card and you will need to replace it.

I hope this helps you out, if it does please give me a YES that I did assist you. Thank you.

If this is a samsung crt monitor, this is a very common, usually unfixable problem. i reccomend buying an lcd monitor. Dont forget to rate

More likely to have bad caps, see examples here:

If you are going to DIY and already try the monitor with another PC, and have proper tools and know safety precaution then please read on: Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply (they should be replaced in a set), blown fuses; poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/ Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

Learn about bad caps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

Capacitors kit: http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/ he can make you a set of caps for you. Or www.digikey.com just make sure to use caps with low ESR, 105c, high ripple current, long life rating such as PANASONIC FM or FC series.

try to check your video card if its installed properly, or clen the surface of the video card to remove the dirt.

I assume it is an LCD monitor, sounds like you have bad lamp or a lamp power supply. It also could be wrong refresh rate for the monitor, try changing the refresh rate on your computer.

You need to up the refresh rate. Your settings may be slightly different to mine but this is how I get to it:

1. Right-click on the desktop, select Personalize, Display Settings.
2. Click Advanced Settings, select Monitor tab.
3. Change Screen Refresh Rate to the highest number that is available.

When you can't change the screen resolution then most likely only the default VGA driver has been installed. You need to install the graphics driver of the video card that is installed in your computer.
To check which graphics driver is installed, click on Control Panel - Display - Settings - Advance - Adapter tab. If the graphics adapter is set for Standard VGA then the graphics driver was not installed.

you need to check to make sure your speaker is off mute and confirm you have the right driver for your sound card by going to controle panel and open up sound/then go to sound and highlight a sound scheme then look for a black arrow going to the right...click and listen for sound..if the arrow remains grey then you don't have the right driver.

Keep a backup on your hard drive or a backup. The backup system is a free service supplied by your internet provider. If you use it daily or after every update, there will never be an issue.
