Black screen - No optical mouse Led
On Saturday 11-21-09 my home built 4 yr old computer just quit. XP Pro SP2,
retail version, K7S5A motherboard, ATI Radeon graphics card. Reset computer and it came back on. 4 hrs later, same thing. Tried to restart but but this time no screen, no optical mouse led light. Monitor says no signal. Does not get to BIOS screen or anything. Just a black screen. I can hear hard drive start. Here's what I have done- 1. Removed HD and put it in another computer. Boots ok. All files there. 2. Put in a old but good NVIDIA graphics card. Still no screen. 3. Put in old but good 512 memory stick. No luck. Worth a shot. 4. Took power supply to tech shop to test. Ok. 5. Changed ribbon cable. Any other suggestions? New Board? |

One debugging technique for motherboards, is to use the computer case speaker and the "beep codes". With the power off on the power supply, remove all the RAM and the video card. (Store them in antistatic bags, until it is time to reinstall them.) The BIOS should normally notice the RAM and/or video is missing, and give a beep pattern. Beeps are used for any error condition that cannot be printed on the screen. If you hear a beep pattern at startup, with the components missing, you know the processor is getting power, and the path through the Northbridge and Southbridge works. (The processor makes the beeps - a dead processor, and no beeps.) I'm assuming the case speaker is connected to the SuperI/O chip, which is connected to the Southbridge. So to get there, and do the beeping, requires a lot of working hardware. If you're not getting any beeping, it could be a bad processor, broken Vcore regulator, problem with chipset (processor can't fetch BIOS code, as that flows through the chipset too). I suppose, even the case speaker could be broken, but we shouldn't think about a second failure at this point. We know something else is busted, and that is most likely to prevent the speaker from beeping. Some motherboards have a round black piezo speaker mounted on the motherboard itself. That might be more common on pre-built systems or maybe on a server. Retail motherboards like yours, should really have a couple SPKR pins on the PANEL header, to connect a case speaker to. If you haven't connected a case speaker, you're not going to hear any beeps. So check your speaker situation, and if the speaker looks like it is installed properly, remove the video and RAM and see what response you get. If you do get some beep pattern, add back the RAM. If the beep pattern changes with the RAM back in, you might conclude the RAM is recognized a bit. If you plug in the video and the beeping stops, then you'd suspect the video is holding the system hostage (like a bad AGP slot). If it beeps the same as the last test case, then maybe the video card is bad. In other words, if you think about it, each test case has two outcomes, and the beep pattern or lack of beep pattern or different beep pattern etc, is telling you something. It is like a fault tree, where each test case takes you down a different branch of the tree. If you failed the very first test case (i.e. remove RAM and video), and there are no beeps, it could be a bad processor. You'll need to remove the heatsink and have a look. Some AMD processors "cook" under there, and if you see severe discoloration, a large crack or the like, you have your answer. If not, clean of the dried paste, and apply a thin coat of fresh stuff, before reinstalling the CPU heatsink. Be careful not to crack the silicon die (a shim or four rubber bumps helps prevent tilting of the heatsink and a cracked edge on the die). You can do simple visual checks for the motherboard, like look for bulging caps. I don't know what the reputation is for your mobo, with respect to caps. Caps have stress relief cuts on the top, so that the cap won't explode. If there is bad mojo (chemistry failure) inside the cap, the top bulges, the pressure is relieved and the goo leaks out. It can eat stuff it touches, or discolor things. A skilled hobbyist can replace the caps, assuming you buy a cap kit somewhere, from someone who knows how to select good quality replacements. Pulling the caps out of the board, without ruining something, takes good tools (and practice on a board you don't care about). Considering the age of your motherboard, it might be hard to find a decent substitute. Depends on the whims of Ebay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague Since you've had your power supply tested, we can assume it is OK. It should have been tested under a light to moderate load, rather than just being switched on and listen for the fan turning. Paul |

The most likely thing, given the checks listed above and the assumption you have checked all cables and plugs, is the mainboard is bad. If you try a new board, also try to update the BIOS as necessary and if possible before trying to boot windows - in a very few cases this can avoid a nightmare. -- Jeff Barnett |

Bought a new board and new processor. Store guy said to do a XP repair after
putting it together. What am I looking at as to repair XP Pro SP2 retail version? Got a good simple link? "Joe T." wrote: Prevx was no hel as I cannot log on.

This is a commonly quoted link for Repair Installs. http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm This instruction page, is a little easier on the eyes. But it doesn't cover any potential issues. http://helpdesk.its.uiowa.edu/window...airinstall.htm The most important detail, is pressing F6 if a custom driver is needed for the hard drive to be recognized. "Vanilla" mode for an IDE or SATA drive, may get its driver from the Windows OS itself (bundled generic driver). If something like AHCI or RAID is required, WinXP at least, may require a manufacturer driver to be installed. That is the most likely reason for no drive to be detected, no boot device etc. And the motherboard manual is usually woefully inadequate on details like that. For example, a previous motherboard I had, had an Intel ICH5R Southbridge (two IDE cables, two SATA plugs). And a Promise 20378 controller. If I wanted to use the 20378, I'd press F6 and install a driver on a floppy diskette. The diskette has "TXTSETUP.OEM" and the driver files. That is the kind of stuff that goes on the floppy. The motherboard CD will either offer to make the floppy for you, or offer a folder with the floppy files in it. The TXTSETUP.OEM goes at the top level of the floppy. Check the floppy when you make it, and see if that is there. On my ICH5R, if I connected a drive to the IDE cable, then the Windows default driver would work. If I connected two SATA drives to the ICH5R and set the BIOS to RAID mode, I'd need a different floppy with RAID driver on it. So if you can find the most "vanilla" setting and interface for the disk (usually an interface on the Southbridge chip), that is the most likely to offer an option where no driver is needed. If you have a modern motherboard with no floppy interface, and need to do the F6 thing, then you're in a real mess. It might take slipstreaming with NLite (nliteos.com), to place the driver into a new Windows installer CD, so Windows can get it without the floppy. Or maybe a USB floppy drive. Or whatever. be aware, that if you don't install an AHCI driver, you may lose the ability to do hot swap of SATA disks, or perhaps even have trouble migrating to a RAID configuration later. Selecting the most vanilla mode for the hard drive, solves your immediate problem, but may make some change later more difficult. Paul "Joe T." wrote: Prevx was no hel as I cannot log on.
