Anyone know anything about MPCs? No video! - NOW WITH VIDEO (still broken)
javeryh:
Thanks. I just hooked up an external monitor to it and the same thing happens. I get a few seconds of video and then the external monitor goes into power saving mode... I'm starting to think there is a motherboard problem or something. I couldn't figure it out. At least I'll get a hard drive out of it - it was the only thing I could remove.
King Nerd:
Can you get into the BIOS with the External Monitor?
What about Safe Mode?
javeryh:
I will give it a shot. Here is a crappy video of what happens:

You can see the picture flash for a second and then cut out...
thecheat:
Is the image actually that dark? You're probably looking at a backlight inverter failure. What you could do is put it in direct sunlight or shine a very bright flashlight across the LCD and you'll probably see the display working.
It could be bad fluorescent bulbs (maybe), bad inverter (very likely), or bad power supply (not likely).
javeryh:
The image isn't actually that dark (it's my crappy camera - all the lights were on in the room when I shot that!). The picture appears normally at a good brightness and then disappears.
