Dimension 2350 Onboard Video Problem
Hi,
My Dimension 2350 is giving me trouble. When I turn it on, the power light, diagnostic lights, NIC light, all go on properly. I can hear the hard drive engage, and it seems to sound the same as it always did in the past. The problem is that I am getting no display on my monitor.
I have tried various monitors, but none work. I have also tried putting in a video card, but it also doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

fangsouth,
If the monitor passes the selftest, then the onboard video card is bad.
Self-Test Feature Check (STFC) -
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check if your monitor is functioning properly. Run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:
* Turn off both your computer and the monitor
* Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. Remove the monitor Analog (blue connector) and/or DVI (white connector) cable from the back of computer
* Turn on the monitor
* The floating 'Dell - self-test Feature Check' dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background). While in self-test mode, the power LED remains green and the self-test pattern will scroll through the screen continually
* How does it look?

Hi,I do not have a Dell monitor. I have been using a couple other monitors to test this computer. Both monitors work on other computers I own, but not on the Dimension. I have tested it using an older monitor, and a newer flat screen monitor I purchased.
