If the monitor connected to a tower, desktop or all-in-one computer is blank:

Plug the monitor into a different video port on the computer if one is available. Alternatively, replace the monitor with a monitor that you know is working properly.

Verify that the computer and monitor are plugged into a working electrical outlet.

Verify that the monitor is turned on and the green monitor light is on.

Turn up the brightness and contrast controls of the monitor if the monitor is dim.

If the internal display on an all-in-one computer is blank, open the computer and make sure the graphics card is properly installed.

Upgrade the BIOS. A new release of the BIOS might have been released that supports new features or fixes your problem.
