your pc may be having a problem with 'standby' or 'hybernation' mode.  Just power-off the PC.  If this problem reoccurs, then you can dis-able standby and/or hybernation mode.\n\nthe control is located in start---control panel--power settings.

Does your monitor do or show anything at all? Or is it completely dead. Check the cords and make sure they didnt fall off. When you turn the computer on do you get a boot up screen and then it goes dead? If so the monitor is ok. The monitor driver my be corrupt or deleted itself, or you might have a bad video card. Try this turn the computer and the monitor on and unplug the monitor cord from the back of the computer if the monitor is ok you should get a message on the screen telling you that it is disconnected from the computer, if you get this message then the cord or the video card or driver is bad. If you have a friend with a computer ask them if you can borrow their monitor. Disconnect your monitor and reconnect it using their cord if it still wont work your cord is fine if it works you then need a new cord. If it still wont work connect their monitor and see if it works if it does then you need a new monitor if it does the same thing that yours is doing, then it is something else and not the monitor or the cord. If their monitor doesnt work either then it could be the the video card or the driver. To see if it is the driver or the video card since you cant check it in the device manager because your monitor isnt working do this. Notice where the cord plugs into the back of the computer,open the computer up hopefully you have a plug in video card (plugs in slots on the board and can be removed) the other kind is a onboard video card which is built onto the board. If you have a removeable card be carefull and pull it out of the computer. Start the computer up and let it run for a couple of minutes then turn the computer off this will clear a corrupt driver from the system bios. Turn the computer back on if the card is ok it and the driver is bad it will ask ask you if you want to reinstall the driver click yes it will the ask you from where click MS web site also click on the C drive make sure that you have it so it searches all the C drive. It will then do a search and if it finds the driver it will ask you if you want to install it, click yes, after you are done, restart the computer if the monitor still doesnt work more then likely the video card is shot.You can find a decent one for around 60-70 dollars at Best Buy. If you have an onboard card then you have no choice but to try a new card. There should be a slot on the board for it just make sure when you plug the cord back in to plug it into the new card and not the onboard connection. As for copying the files dumbbutt4321 hit it on the head go to radio shack and by cross over cables they plug into the usb connectors!!\nP.S. once again I have read answers from people that DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. You can NOT switch a hardrive from 1 computer to another without formatting it.. The reason being is that EVERY CPU has a unique identifier on it that installs it self into the BIOS and on to the hardrive. It matches the CPU and hardrive together. Because of this a hardrive will not work if you take it out of one computer and put it into another one without formatting the drive. You have to erase that unique identifier off the drive so that when you switch them the CPU will do its thing and put the id on the new drive so it will match up again! I wish that all you BACK YARD so called computer geeks would leave this stuff up to those of us that actually spent months and alot of money going to school to learn computers and and take tests to get certified. All you manage to do is f+ck up the peoples computer more then it is already!!!!!!!                                                                            GOOD LUCK!!!!\n                             ZEUS

No signal means your monitor is not going on. If when you turn your computer on, you can hear the hard drive come on and boot, it is not the power supply, probably a video card issue. If when you turn it on and the fan runs for a second and then dies it is the power supply.

There could be issue with the Display. \n\nTry performing Power Drain. \n\nHere are the steps for Power Drain:\n\n1. Disconnect the AC Adapter. \n2. Remove the Battery.\n3. Hold the Power button down for 30 seconds to 1 minute. \n4. Reconnect the AC adapter and do NOT connect the battery now. \n5. Turn on the Notebook power. If the problem persists, please disconnect the AC adapter and connect the battery alone. Now check it again.\n\nTry reinstalling the Display drivers. Also, you can try updating the BIOS version. If the issue persists then, there is sure issue with the display.

go to device manager from control panel, control panel>system>device manager>display adapters and either rinstall driver or rollback driver. If that doesn't fix it, the in graphics properties, change you monitor driver to plug and play. that should fix you up, if not, email me if you find any other problems and I can talk u through them

Does it return to normal on it's own or when you touch the mouse or keyboard? It could be your power settings....right click on your desktop and go to properties, screen saver, then down where it says Monitor Power click power and make sure they all say never then click apply. Hope this helps

You can switch off the monitor by pushing the "off button" on the monitor. That will put it on "standby", but you cannot unplug it to turn it off all together.\n\nA computer needs a monitor, keyboard and mouse at all time in order to operate.

there should be a function button on your keyboard labeled "fn."  hold that and on the f1-f12 keys look for one that looks like it has a monitor on it.  press that until your laptop monitor comes back

Under Start, click Control Panel, then Display and then click Screensaver, then it should have a little globe and say Power, click on Power and it will have a spot that says Turn Off Monitor, click on that a select Never, your Screen Saver will run continuosly until you touch the mouse.

Go to your desktop, right click and hit properties, Go to the screen saver tab and choose monitor power. Change options to keep the HDD on and no standby or hibernation. See if that "cures" the problem.

Nope - turn off the monitor, though, because that consumes a lot more power than the computer itself. Leaving your computer on is actually even better for it, because most failures happen when you turn it off and back on.

Your monitor isn't on or plugged in properly to the computer.

Black--or blank ?  \n\nIf it's black, then It sounds as if the power saver function might be on the fritz.\nUsually, striking a key or wiggling the mouse brings the last image on the screen back up.  Does the monitor have a small light on the front that is green when the screen is active? If that light turns yellow when the screen goes black, that tells you that the power saver function is on.  \n\nIf it's blank [not black], then I don't know what to tell you.  Call tech support and try not to lose your temper with the overseas representatives.

It could be a ton of things.  Try these first:\n\nPop the battery out and plug in directly to the wall.  If it powers on, you have battery problems.  If not, jiggle the power cord in the back of the computer and keep pressing the power button.  If no luck, try doing the same while jiggling the cord to the wall or to the power brick.  You either have a bad motherboard or a bad power adapter.  Try another adapter if you can.  Is it on warranty? \n\nI just sent my laptop out yesterday with exactly the same problem...and it's either a fried motherboard or bad power adapter.
