eMachine W340UA Video Trouble...

[caliphe]

I have an eMachine W340UA. The system powers up but the monitor will now come on at all. Can anyone tell me what this could be? I installed different memory of the same type & got the same response. I figure it has to be something more complicated.:confused:

You can try an external monitor. If that doesn't work, it's probably a bad motherboard.

The prominent problem with an Emachine is the power supply. Try another psu and look for bad caps on the motherboard and inside the old psu.

Bestec power supplies when they go, they have been know to ruin everything, but once in a while you can get lucky and nothing was destroyed. Try a new ps as suggested.

Isn't that a notebook?

Probably right on the laptop bit.
So. . . .

1. Check your power cord & adapter.
2. If its working then check the battery, reseat the battery & check.
3. If available then check with another battery
4. If no, then remove the battery & switch on the PC in AC mode.
5. Check if battery charging indication or AC power on indication is glowing. if not then need to change ur motherboard.
6. If indication is OK, but could not power ON then check ur RAM for any loose connection or dust. clean & reinstall.
