I have a HP pavilion with windows 98. One day it just wouldn't turn on. When I pressed the power button, nothing happened: no lights or sounds or anything. About a week later I tried to turn it on again and the lights turned on, and I heard the computer running, but when I turned on the monitor, it said:
"Please check video cable connection." I made sure all the cables and wires were secure and in the right spot, but still nothing. I flipped the kill switch on the back of the CPU, but still nothing. I tried different outlets: nothing. I just need to turn on the computer so I can retrieve some files. The only way I know of to retrieve the files is to remove the hard drive and hook it up to my other computer, but I don't know how, and I don't want to spend money to get a professional to do it, so how can I get my computer to turn on right?
