There is a blackout,the computer remains on but no display

have you been check for a bulging capacitors at the power supply board.

I recommend that you call Eaton (the manufacturer) service line: 800.356.5737. Here is the product page for the 3105: http://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Backup-Power-UPS/3105.aspx?cx=3 You can also send an email:[email protected]

turn off to reduce power consumption.

This additional power enhances the sound quality.

before returning to Blackout mode.

Hope this helps

Hello,

It sounds like you have a monitor with a common problem. After a few years some LCD monitors will blow a power supply. The problem is caused by parts called capacitors overheating in the confined space of the monitor. If you are good at electronics repair/soldering you can usually fix the problem. Check out a few pictures on my web site www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm You can take the back cover off your monitor and look for the bad parts,replace any that look like the pictures and your monitor should work fine. The capacitors do need to be installed with the correct + and - connections, note the stripe on the old one and insert the new one the same way. Look in our monitor repair section for step by step repair guide for this model it should be the same power supply as the 930. If you don't want to try the repair yourself we offer a repair service for $35 plus shipping.

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

Disconnect completely computer and display form power cable for ten minutes, plug them back and restart ().This is called hard reset.
If you still have the problem try checking the display video cable, both in the monitor and computer socket.
If it still does not work connect PC to a different monitor, just to test that is not the pc or the video card the problem.
If it still does not work the blackout may have caused a short in your monitor or a system failure on pg then get back here and post the new problem.

regards

Hard drive issue or power supply. Power supply prone to bad capacitors (look for leakage/swollen tops)
If hard drive faulty you'll need a new one which is no small task. Disk contains firmware and custom file system and smallest I've got image is 10.7gig
