I have HP-compaq SR2002X desktop and A8m2n-la Mobo.
In order to update the BIOS I downloaded the file on the following page
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareD ownloadIndex?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-56 155-1&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN
and run the software. After installation it asked for rebooting and after pressing Yes and rebooting there is no display in monitor at all.
I am getting usual sounds from PC when machine starts and it seems Windows XP is getting loaded as well as I get to hear the Windows Sounds when XP auto log-in the user.
I do not know how to solve this issue at home ? I contacted HP but they ask me to take it to the Service center which sure will cost me.
Could there be any other solution ? I do not see BIOS as well.
In addition I want to ask,
Can I put a pci video/display card in PC to get display working ?
what would I have to do in that case so that external PCI display card work ?
Also
I have not tried another monitor as I do not have one extra.
Surprising is that, when a pc is started we get a sound from monitor exactly at the time when the display appears on monitor for very first time. I am able to hear that sound as if display appeared on monitor but actually nothing appears on monitor. Also Can not see the monitor panel do not show anything. when I plug out the monitor cable from machine then only monitor shows no video cable or similiar but otherwise monitor menu does not work at all (after pressing on monitor buttons). I guess monitor menu should work even though the display is not coming on monitor(powered on, amber/orange LED )
Thanks
