'no signal' message

Question

ok so i just opened my pc to look inside and clean it.. then put it back together     i plugged everything in the back back in   then i turned the surge protector on   then i turned on the power supply at the back of my computer (i had to replace it cuz the stock one died)   then i pushed the button on the front   then turned the monitor on     ----   when i pushed the button on the front... the light on the left side looking at it turned orange.. then i had the green one on the right blinking like normal (like it's thinking)... the orange light is supposed to be green   when i turned the monitor on.. the light turns from green to orange quickly (like turning the monitor on when the computer is off) and the monitor says no signal.   ----   when the orange lights are on.. i can open and close the cd drives. - so there's definitely power going to it   i looked inside and made sure everything was in order   the mother board LED was on   also on the back, none of the diagnostic lights are on   ----   i removed all the pci cards including the video, the plugged the monitor into the stock slot.   i removed all the RAM   i unplugged  the CD drive, DVD drive, Floppy drive, and Hard drive   ----   i have no idea what's going on.. please help me.

if you removed the video card, then plugged into the onboard video port, obv you would not get a signal, as the onboard video would be off in bios.

put your system back together.

the 'no signal' message means most likely the vga video cable was not connected properly.
