Catherine's computer - Catherine - 03-09-2020 I am having a real computer glitch. I can't get any signal from my computer to my monitor. All the connections seem good. The computer turns on or at least the fans are running. So I am working from my phone right now. It does limit what I can do. I can either get it running in the morning or I may need a new computer. Let's hope I solve this in the morning. If I can't get things up and running I will need to use a friends computer for a day or two. One way or the other I will be with the forum. I will keep you posted. RE: Catherine's computer - LPC - 03-09-2020 Worth trying someone else's cable with your computer, also someone else's monitor, before taking more radical measures. I do so hope that it works out for you. RE: Catherine's computer - Catherine - 03-09-2020 Right now the computer fans come on when I turn it on,but I don't hear the computer turning on. It doesn't look good. I think I have spare cables. I can check that first. I think it is new computer time. It is getting old and I knew I would need to replace it soon. RE: Catherine's computer - Catherine - 03-10-2020 My neighbour brought over a new power cord and we got it running and then had to do a system restore. Right now everything seems to be running. I am going to do as much as I can carefully in case this is a temporary fix. RE: Catherine's computer - LPC - 03-10-2020 If you haven't done it already, it is wise to back up all your important files on to an external hard disk or possibly a large memory flash disk. I speak from bitter experience in the past. Glad that all is well for now. RE: Catherine's computer - Catherine - 03-10-2020 All seems to be well. I have an external hard drive, but I am not sure it has a proper back up file for the computer right now. I will get that done as soon as I can. I have been trying to get back into my Google account since the trouble I had last summer. I have finally fixed that and that means I can use my news alert again and pictures. I have to sort that out too. At least my cell phone works. |
