Did it work before?
When did this start happening?
What led up to the video not working?
Did anything on this PC change? New updates?
Does the monitor have any lights on it? What color are they?
Does the monitor work on another computer?

You should be able to simply use a paper clip (unbent) and push it through the very small hole on the front of the CD tray.
This will manually open the cd tray.

Be sure you have the correct drivers, if sure you have them, might have to replace the sound card.

what's the error message?

All motherboards have a print beside the pins, Speaker= "speak", "pwr s" =powerswitch, "HDDled" red light on front, rst = reset switch [not allways used] "pwr led" Green led, the case wires are usualy marked on the plug ends with the same , "hdd" "reset" and so on. The power switch will work both way's around however the led lights wont. You will not hurt anything if they are the wrong way around, they just wont work so if you dont get lights just reverse the polarity. If by chance the case wires do not have labels the just trace them to the case front panel and plug them into the corresponding board pins. Regards mistyman

Hi Matt, The issue seems to be with the ethernet controller, or the DNS / DHCP service of the computer. Try safe mode with networking and see if that works. you may check the antivirus settings and try a different user profile. if this does not help, then call 1-877-805-1027 for expert help.

Check the settings by opening volume control. Check Managed audio devices and see speaker image is appearing and is tick marked. bye bye!

Assuming the speakers are working, you can test them by plugging them into any other headphone jack, for example your cell phone. Check drivers & etc on computer make sure sound card installed correct. Also verify you are using the correct jack, there may be several for example microphone line in if you have a 5.1 stereo card they may also be ports for the rear speakers.

remove windows 7 and install xp, and try.

have you checked to make sure your sound card in the computer is working or has it gone out?

HiYou may need to check the sound drivers installations.Try playing a CD using Windows media player.This will report a sound error.Download the drivers from your machine's support site.Hope it helps.Thanks
