Solution 3 – Internal Hardware Checkup
There is lots of extra hardware in your computer’s cabinet which have no relation between to your motherboard’s startup i.e. Harddrive, DVD-RW, FDD and External Card. If the problem is generating from the internal hardware, there is chance your computer won’t able to boot and shows you “no display”. A motherboard only needs Ram, Processor, Fan and SPMS to startup itself. So, remove all the unnecessary hardware like HDD, FDD, DVD-RW and External card etc. to check does this problem is coming from Internal Hardware. After that, try to turn on your computer. If your computer boots up normally, that means you have an issue with your internal hardware parts and you can check every hardware parts one by one to find which one creates that problem. If your display doesn’t show you anything yet, then move on to next solution.

Solution 5 – Ram Checkup
Commonly Ram must be the 90% of reason for “no display” problem. If your ram got dead, your motherboard will never be able to start itself until you’ve replace it with a new one. If you have two ram installed in your computer, then remove one of them and try to turn on your computer. If your computer still won’t turn on then remove that ram from that slot and install it into another slot. If your computer still won’t able to Turn ON, then do those previous steps with your other ram stick (vice versa). If you still facing that problem that means there is chance your ram got dead, in that case borrow a compatible “Ram stick” to your friend and install it into your computer to checks does your ram creates that problem or not. If you find your ram dead, you can try to clean it “How to Clean a Ram Stick ?” And then check that ram does it works after cleaning. If the cleaning doesn’t work then you should try to repair your ram by following our this tutorial “How to Repair a Dead Ram Stick (Memory Stick)?”.

If the above 5 checkups didn’t works for you that means you have 98% of chances you’ve have a dead motherboard. Take you motherboard to the repair shop or you can replace it with new one.
