Watch: PC turns on but no display
This written companion keeps a future no-display troubleshooting video useful even before the embed exists. It focuses on the smallest checks that separate display-path mistakes from a deeper POST problem.

What the video should help with
This watch page should help the viewer check the monitor path, the intended video output, and the difference between a no-display symptom and a deeper no-POST state.
Scannable notes
- Keep one monitor and one known path in play while testing.
- Watch for board indicators and restart behavior instead of relying only on fan spin.
- Move from display checks to minimum-boot checks only after the simple path is ruled out.
Open the next page that matches the display failure
Start with the guide version if you still need context on the display path. Start with no-POST if the machine is not really reaching a usable display state at all.
