My monitor screen is blank.?

After flashing on and off while operating over a few days the screen is now blank and I can't get anything to show.

I assume it is the hard drive. It isn't the monitor as I swapped another one one earlier and had the same problem.

Is there anything I can do to get some of the data on the hard drive?

    CHECK your video card this would appear to be the problem

    do you have an orange light on your monitor or a green one

    if green your screen is knacked

    if orange your video card is knacked it's not getting a signal

    if it is a built in one just get a new vid card same as if it is not please remember to get a compatable one thou
