I have a RCA LCD TV (model # 32LA30RQ) and a Dell Dimension 3000 PC. I don’t have the model number on the PC because part of the sticker is missing. What kind of cable do I need to connect them? Will I need a separate audio cable? I was on the Dell website and there was no mention of the cable so any help would be much appreciated.

It is not always a power supply problem – as in the power supply needs to be replaced. It has something to do with leftover energy that needs to be discharged. A hair dryer blowing in onto the tower’s fan will cause it to run in reverse negatively discharging the built up or leftover engergy. It doesn’t seem to work with cold air but also needs the heat. Don’t put dryer up against the casing, don’t want to cook the fan motor! Anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes should cause light to go solid. Then you can start computer in normal mode. This method has worked 2X on my SR5601P.

hi there…
we can try a few things here…
**The first one is to hit CTRL ALT DEL to bring up the task manager To start explorer.exe. You click on the button to start a new task and then type explorer.exe
this should bring back your desktop. If this does not work then it could be a display problem. Please let me know if you can do this.

I had the same problem and replaced the power supply, and the computer is up and running happily now.

Thank you!
