No Signal Input

Hey everyone.


I recently went on holiday for 2 weeks and before I left I shut my pc down and unplugged everything from the wall. When I came back I plugged it back in, booted it up, used it for an hour or 2 and shut it back down again.

Next day the monitor comes up with the message "No Signal Input" and the computer won't boot. The lights come on, the DVD drive opens/closes, but nothing seems to happen from there - no beeps or anything.

I realise this may have been posted before, but nobody mentioned having the computer unplugged for any length of time. My computer is an Acer Aspire, so I tried their NZ website (I'm from NZ) and the page crashes (not a good start!), so I thought I'd try here.

Unfortunately I opened the box to see if I could fit another HD in thus breaking the little "warranty void if broken" sticker - even though I didn't actually do anything. The computer is about 6 months old.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

turns out it was the graphics card .....
