Hello everybody.
My friend has a problem with his PC - when he turns it on there is an error message displyed on the screen, "no signal".
Basically i think the problem is either in the CPU or MB or power supply. but how exactly can i check those components and decide which causes the problem?
I have done some searching in google and saw that this problem is usually caused by bad power supply, but how can i be sure? i have another (working) computer which i can take the power supply from and switch between them, but im afraid i will mess it up, so i thought i can just disconnect some of the working PC's power supply's cables, and connect them to the components in the bad PC, you think it will work? there is no problem with doing it? can the working pc be damaged if i do it?
thanks.
