So my friends put together a gaming computer for me, one of them built it for me, used the computer on their monitor and everything worked fine. Well, now that it has shipped to me, it's not working on my monitor or any other monitor.
We have tried taking the ram out, putting in speakers and seeing if the motherboard beeps at all, but it doesn't. All the fans and everything lights up in the computer, but it's not connecting to my monitor. And I know it isn't my monitor, because I've tried another.
So how exactly do I know if the motherboard is broken? Can only some parts of it be broken? (Cause all the fans spin and such, so I don't know for sure.) Cause right now, it was shipped with UPS, we're wondering if maybe something got damaged while delivery was happening.
My friend who put this together and shipped it to me also wants to know if he should try getting his money back from the motherboard manufacturer or UPS.
Any kind of help is appreciated, because we want to know what to get a refund on/ship back!
