im tryna fix my friends EMachine H2602 for some reason there is no video when i turn on the computer. no beeps, but the computer does boot up. any solutions?

If there is no video and no beeps, how do you know the computer is booting?

How are you "tryna" fix it, if you don't know anything about what is going on? Take it to the shop! You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users

well i dont know, but i could feel the hdd runnin'...i tried disconnecting the hdd to see if it would be that..but still no video..what kind checks should i do to narrow down to see what would be the problem??

The hard drive spinning only indicates that the 12V supply is present. If you can hear/feel it seeking, then perhaps your guess is correct. You should also see the disk activity light flashing (not just the single flash that occurs on boot). The presence of the LEDs also confirms that the 5V supply is working. The absence of any beep codes may be caused by the speaker being disconnected. Removing uneeded components is a good step in determining where the fault might lie. All you need to boot is the CPU, RAM, and video card. If it works after trying this, add each component one at a time until it fails. Please remember to disconnect the mains power each time you add or remove components. Many people forget that the is always power supplied to the motherboard in an ATX system. If it still does not boot with the minimal configuration, try removing the video card and the ram (one at a time). This should cause beep code errors.

the video card is intergated into the mb so i can't remove...im tryna get something to pop up on the screen. if there is no video when boot happens den i guess that would mean there soemthing wrong wit the mb? or perhaps there would be something else to cause no video?

If the problem is indeed a failed video chip, you can add a video card. It appears that you have the option of AGP or PCI. This would probably be a more practical solution as Socket A motherboards are becoming difficult to find. You might have to disable the onboard graphics before an aditional card will work. Check the motherboard manual. "perhaps there would be something else to cause no video?" Absolutely! A failed CPU, RAM, motherboard or powersupply can cause the computer not to boot. Then of course there are the little things such as a stuck reset button or a foreign object underneath the motherboard causing a short to frame. So far, you have demonstrated little knowlege of how a computer works. Are you sure you are capable of diagnosing and repairing this computer?
