Assuming the monitor is fine you can try the following:

  1. Open the machine and reseat the video card; if video card is onboard try
  2. Unplug the machine and remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes; Its possible Windows didn't shut down properly and CMOS is preventing a normal startup; after replacing the battery, boot up (will probably start up in safe mode
If neither of these fixes the problem, you may have an issue with the monitor itself. Best of luck.

    The video card is where you plug the monitor into. If it's removable, it may require reseating; It's possible that it's a "fixed" video built into the motherboard.

    The CMOS battery looks like a large watch battery, usually located in the center of the motherboard, held in by small prongs (be careful with the prongs, they aren't very sturdy)

I have Packard Bell iMedia 5094 (P660403401) which is very slow on start up and running programs can upgrade or add to the memory to speed it up
Howdy. unless you are doing nothing but very basic word processing, that computer will not run most modern programs well or at all. There is no way to speed it up enough to match current applications. A variety of faster machines are available for as little as 200 dollars. You can keep your mouse, keyboard and monitor and just replace the tower, or get all new for just a little more. walmart, tigerdirect dot com or overstock dot com have a bunch of deals. It's cool that it still works, though. you must keep it pretty clean. Farmerbear at FixYa

My packard bell imedia will not boot, when i press on button it goes red instead of blue and the shuts off after 2 seconds
i'd say your not passing the post test....if you hear a beep when you start your pc it should boot to windows screen if you dont hear beep you could have a loose cpu fan open up pc and make sure the fan is secure if not try tightening it can be tricky either that or it could be your power supply i wouldnt attempt fixing that if not sure what your doing..or try turning off your pc plug it out disconnect all periphals and press in the on button and hold for 2 minutes then try and boot

HI THERE MY PACKARD BELL 2215 IMEDIA WILL NOT BOOT UP. iT WAS WORKING PERFECTLY THEN IT CRASHED NOW IT STARTS, FANS SOUND, BUT THEN IT SWITCHES OFF, ANYONE HELP? X
Sounds like an overheating problem. Clean the dust out of it, make sure it can get air on all sides, make sure the fans are turning. If that doesn't work, unplug the computer, hit the power button 20 times, wait 1/2 hour and boot it up.

Packard bell imedia alt-col2 just keeps beeping on and off
Find out what's making the noise first. It's either your fan or your hard drive. Check to make sure the noise your're hearing isn't your fan cutting into one of your wiring harnesses. That could be why you have the video problems. If it's your hard drive making the noise, that means it's on it's way out and you should immediately back up your files on disk and replace the drive before you lose everything.
