Well, since I have a surplus of computers around me that need work: 3 complete towers, 3 not complete towers, and two laptops. I got experimental and found a hard drive that seemed close enough to work and at first it did. Then I got cocky. I put in the original hard drive to see if I could not see if it was possible to access it but having it in there just doesn't make the computer happy. It retaliated by giving me the blank screen. No blinking nothing, nothing flashed across the monitor at any time. I thought about trying the removal of the battery but I was just too tired last night so I have the battery now sitting next to me while I type this. I have a ton of other work to do so I cannot try it out until tomorrow. I will keep you posted and thanks for the help.
