T160-US321H (acer relic daY) year 2005 and 12 years old you nowl
you posted with no monitor told maker and model and how connected, nor when it last worked right (never) or failed just now after years of good service/? or bought any of that dead.
actual all of that you see and even open case, can fail, every inch.
PCs use shared resource that if fail the CARD house fails
study von Neumann
architecture for why.
Screen 100% dead no Acer splash from PC nor bios screens all dead. that means video out put is dead. (or PC fully dead)
NOT TOLD DOES PC HAVE GPU CARD IN X16 PCI-E SLOT IF YES MUST BE CONNECTED TO MONITOR.
WOW THE OLD DAYS WHEN ACER HAD REAL MANUAL's, nice.
SERVICE man. SEE LINK BELOW.
the hit list mine based on age. 12. (then) screen dead. squawk.
- the monitor 2005 is dead as all are. now, CCFL dead LAMPS and fails on a 2nd GOOD PC, proves MON IS DEAD.
- PLUGGED IN WRONG, USE THE VGA PORT ON MOBO WITH NO GPU CARDS INSTALLED.
- Hold power button on PC in for 10seconds and release/?
- The PC has 12 years of lint , never serviced and sure fan runs fast for that, lint, it's only trying to save its bacon from the #1 killerrrr of electronics = heat.
- the RTC coin cell battery is dead, spec is 7y max not 12. so is dead and now BIOS is 100% confused and in CHAOS mode.
- put in a new $1 coin now.
- reset bios screens. next. if screen works
- then remove all power to PC AC cord, even overnight like that. then put back a Ac AND DO THE 10 POWER ON TEST. EVEN LEARN TO TURN ON PC FIRST, SEE POWER LED ON PC NOT BLINK AND THEN TURN ON MONITOR LAST 15SECONDS LATE OR MORE AND THEN SEE MONITOR TALK TO YOU, LIKE THIS , no signal, no sync,. no connection or out of range errors. the first 3 are dead PC VGA port the latter is PC set to ******* resolution of unstated monitor.
- and 20 more cause and test. reduce the PC top min, system , all ALL usb things unplugged, all sata, all IDE drivers, ALL cables to all drives pulled, all PCI cards pulled, all ram by 1 stick of ram in back0 channel "A" , (ELAB: test each stick of ram in that slot 1 by 1, blow out the slot first. with can-o-air sold at walmart or use 30psi shop air as shops do.
- we do this because anything that shorts makes PC fail hard.
this mobo is AMD Nforce junk , zero support now and for sure zero future at all , no hope of newer OS>? GF 6100 onboard.
Nforce Crush 51 runs the VGA port . (NF 405?)

2005 monitors used CCFL black lamps and all; are dead now.
the tubes are dead, and OSD is dead too (a huge clue there)
and a flash light pointed the screen as PC BOOTS.
you see data now, bingo for CCFL *****. 20,000 hours and Kaput..
dim, dead or intermittent.
or a new monitor 2010 up, LED only black lamps and win./
