Power Save mode came on and does not go away
Last answer on Feb 15, 2009 6:35:46 am GMT Jay, on Feb 14, 2009 5:32:59 pm GMTHello,
I turned on my computer and instead of windows coming on there is a box floating on my screen that says "Attention on signal check input signal connection or follow power save mode has been enabled". I have checked all my connections and seems okay but the screen does not come on even though the computer sounds like it is on.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jay

Are you sure it doesn't say "Attention no signal check input signal connection"? This error message is displayed by the monitor when it does not detect an input signal. The PC is NOT sending a signal to the monitor. Check your cable connections - then you might remove the video card and replace it. (with the PC unplugged). Just about anything past this stage requires a PC technician to fix. Good Luck |
I assume that this is a desktop PC and not a laptop. (if it's a laptop - take it in for repair - there is nothing you can do)

I would test the monitor with another computer and test your computer with a different monitor. If the monitor proves to be good you are dealing with a dead video chip on the motherboard or a dead motherboard. You could have a repair shop take a look - one option might be to add a video card to the computer. |
