It's not that we cannot help you and I realize you are new here, but we will not allow you to jump in the middle of a thread and take help away from the poster who originally started this thread so please hold up until a Mod moves you into your own thread.jrpg10389 said:ok i have recently been plagued by a really bad problem i work on computers as a hobby i now have 4 computers with the same problem...... but my problem is i cannot get annyyyy video to come up at all on the onboard video card (one of them does not have a onboard) and i have tried pci and vga all i get when i try to plug the monitor in on them is the screen will flicker for 1 second right as i plug the monitor in then nothing i have tried popping out the battery to reset bios i have tried unhooking everything except the video card (if its onboard) i just do not know what to do i would like to get one of these other computers working they have 2.5GHZ proceccors in them and im running a 866mhz so yea i would love to get the video working on at least one of them the computers come on fine and appears to be all working i just do not know what to do any help to fix this will be GREATLY appreciated

A set of diagnostic LEDs is jsut about as good as getting beeps out of a speaker. Some Dells may have group of 3 or 4 LEDs showing through the rear panel of the case. The pattern of on-off or red-green lights should tell you if the the Motherboard powered up OK or one of the causes of the failure.jrpg10389 said:yes i beleive all of them do have leds but...... non have small speakers
