Inspect the video cable and video connectors for damage. Check for sharp bends or breaks in the cable, or bent or broken pins at the connectors. Look for debris, dirt, crud, or other obstructions and clean the connections if needed. If you remove the plastic cover to connect a display (VGA or HDMI), the video will not work unless the video card is removed. Connect another display to the computer to determine which device has the problem (the display or the computer). If you do not have an extra display, temporarily connect the computer to a friend's display for troubleshooting purposes.
