Ok, first, can you give us a bit more info pertaining to your problem? Like when did this happen, or how, and what type of computer monitor your running.

wow.....talk about not enough information.....

if you have a bad monitor try it on another system...if it works dig further....if it dont get rid of it ...monitors are not a service item

He PM'd me with the same message. I told him I would fly right down and check it out. Just kidding.

marteach! Welcome to the forum, and write frequently. Post all your questions please on the board- you will get more collective attention that way.

The PM section is more for a "Hi how ya doin" thing instead of a "can you help me" thing.

Sorry this was my first time here! I have a packard bell computer with win 95 /155 mgz and it was was running when I tried to install aol 7.0 it just went blank and it died the cpu runs but the monitor is blank.

Turn off the monitor and unplug it.

Leave it off for a while then plug it in and try it.

How old is the monitor. If you got it with the computer is possible that it actually did die. Did it make any noises like "snap, krackle, pop". If it did more than likely you will ned to replace it. A new 15" monitor is roughly about 100 bucks but for the best pricing on the net go to www.pricewatch.com

is there any light on the monitor...power light ...green or amber....try a diffrent plug and try the monitor alone...you should get a amber light if the monitor is working...it will go green if it get a signal for the system

Hi thanks for answering the monitor has an amber light on orange.
Is there any possible way that I can erase the whole hard disk?
