On a Dell 3010 MB I mistakenly use the wrong jumper to reset the bios: meclr instead of the cmos jumper.
System to boots up, drives light up but with no video so I cannot see what occurs. Usb keyboard functions with light and restarts with ctrl-alt-del. Any advice would be appreciated. lgunnin@yahoo.com
 

Tradesman1, thank you for responding. I did reset with correct cmos jumper. Since the computer boots w/o post beeps, I assume (but not sure) that I have changer the video setting and am getting no video to the VGA adaptor/monitor (no video card installed). As I said, any advice appreciated, especially as to how to reset or check video output.

 

On board video, no card. MOBO is Dell Optiplex 3010 PC System Desktop Motherboard 42P49

 


Nothing on the monitor at any time, even though the system boots up w/o a beep and light comes on the keyboard. It will reboot when ctrl-alt-del is entered into the keyboard, so I assume that video from the MOBO has been lost without a complaint/beep during boot up.
