yesterday, i moved my computer into another room. since then, the computer boots up, but the moniter clicks to come on, then immediately turns back off (light goes to orange).
i brought down my other moniter that i KNOW works cuz it's the one i'm using now, and it did the same thing with this moniter. so, it's something to do with the moniter port.
before i get brave and open the side of my HP a1700n computer and start poking and moving things around to make sure they are in tight (which i am really scared of doing), can someone tell me specifically what sorts of things i am looking for to jiggle around and try to tighten? i've been reading this forum, and i don't think it's my motherboard or video card driver, because the computer was working perfectly fine just literally minutes before i moved it to the new room.
ugh. i need that computer to work. it has all my business stuffs on it, and i can't even get the screen to stay on for a second to see what might be happening, extract info off, etc.
please help! DESPERATE here. thank you.
