Black screen need help!

[Tariq2000]

I reset my Dell computer during a Dell update (it said do not reset) and since hasn't been able to get past a black screen, any ideas? Did I fry my motherboard? I tested the hard drive, and video card and can't think of what else it can be, I also took out the battery on the motherboard and took did a few shorts recommended by people but still just stuck on a black screen, no idea what to do

Nope just black, black screen mouse keyboard light up but nothing else.

Something like this happened to me. Booting into safe mode seemed to fix it. Try doing that.

Can you see the Dell logo when you first boot up the computer?

On the tower yes, on the monitor no, nothing on the monitor just blackness
