[QUOTE="I Like Waffle, post: 6041752, member: 600248"] I picked up a compaq presario PC from a friend of mine recently...model SR1820NX if it matters. Heres my problem, when i first tried to start it, it would come on fine, but the hard drive light would stay on, and nothing would display on the screen. So i pull the hard drive, test it in another comp, and figure the hard drive is toast because it wouldnt do shit in that one either, so i scratch that off the list. Just a little while ago i got a known good hard drive and put it in it, loaded an xp boot cd in and still the same thing, HD light on, no display from the video card or onboard video. Also tried removing vid card and restarting, same thing. Tried flashing the cmos as well and that got me nowhere. Im usually pretty good with computers but this has me puzzled.
