Compaq Deskpro En

[allan_leku]

Hello Friends.I am a new user to this site and also just graduated from school as and IT tech. I got this Compaq Deskpro En which when power green led comes on but no display. So it gives these beeps 1short,1short,1short and 3short beeps. what does this then mean as i felt it was memory and replace the memory (RAM) with a working one but it does not gives beeps any more but still does not display. The machine has been down for about 3months without any body using it and there is alot of dirt and dust stack inside so do i try cleaning the motherboard.pls do help me.

Sounds like a video issue. Although beeps do mean RAM as well. I would try it with one RAM DIMM, if you still have beeps, you may need a new video card. Don't spend to much on a video card, espicially if its PCI on AGP in this case. You'll get it, try a few things before buy a card though.
