no signal input messge

HO87

The most obvious possible cause is the graphics card/on board graphics. Check the connections first.

My sister has just called me (?) and said her pc won't start. It is beepig a few times, but then the screen reads "no signal input". She says the fans are working, the power on but nothing but the message happens.

Is this terminal?

Are the [ usual ] lights on her keyboard lit ?

- ring sis and tell her to [ switch off from the mains ] plug her keyboard in properly, switch on mains / switch on puter

- if that doesn't work borrow / try a different keyboard

HTL cmd in BIOS

I thought this too but....

1 Long Beep - K/B
3 Beeps - RAM ?

HiYa Lil306 :beer: one long AND three short

1 Long Beep - K/B
3 Beeps - RAM ?

AMI BIOS beep codes
1 short beep - Successful boot
1 beep - Refresh failure
2 beeps - Parity error
3 beeps - Base 64K memory failure
4 beeps - Timer not operational
5 beeps - Processor error
6 beeps - 8042 - gate A20 failure
7 beeps - Processor exception interrupt error
8 beeps - Display memory read/write failure [Non-fatal]
9 beeps - ROM checksum error
10 beeps - CMOS shutdown register read/write error
11 beeps - Cache memory bad

AWARD BIOS beep codes
1 short - Successful boot
2 short - CMOS setting error
1 long 1 short - DRAM or motherboard error
1 long 2 short - Monitor or display card error
1 long 3 short - Keyboard error
1 long 9 short - BIOS ROM error
Continuous long beeps - DRAM error
Continuous short beeps - Power error

No worries Richie

It's just a long list of possibilities as it does vary from manufacturer. We are just speculating since we don't know how many beeps are occuring but every little helps

No problemo Lil306, we'll have a virtual :beer: on the eventual outcome, newkie brown for me !

Blind as a bat, oops

That helps a lot more :P always pays to get a second opinion

Some more things to try

Good afternoon you wonderful people. Thanks to all who gave advice.
Have looked at the PC. Now we have a different situation. We have NO BEEPS!
So far I have:
Taken out RAM memory individually and replaced individually - No beeps heard - Still same message.
Replaced keyboard - No beeps heard - still same message. (no light on keyboard either).
Tightened monitor connections and even changed monitor - no beeps heard - same message.
Taken out and reseated video card - No beeps heard - same message.
Your thoughts please ladies and gentlemen???

Here's the order I'd do it..... keep going to next step as further suggestion. In each case switch on the computer and see if it POSTS black screen white writing

BTW, do you have a spare PSU you can test with too ?

- Take out Graphics card and hook up to onboard VGA then see if visible
- Reset the BIOS jumper and then test
- Take motherboard out of chassis, place on a wood plank or cardboard box
- Yank RAM, switch on and see if it beeps (make sure speaker connected to M/B)
- If POST visible, install the VGA card and try (visible = short, not = duff MB/Card)

If there is still no image even with onboard VGA and nothing connected except for RAM, CPU, CPU Fan and Power Supply. Then your fault either lies with the M/B or one of those components....
