Hardware Need some help with an AIO PC.

[Deleted member 67270]

So my friend gave me his friend's Dell Inspiron 2305 AIO PC to fix. The problem with it is that there is no video output, even though it turns on and everything. Fan spins, lights are on and everything, just no video output. There's no VGA nor HDMI port, so I can't exactly test if it's just a bad monitor or something.

While I'm waiting for my friend to arrive with the proper screwdriver to open it, does anyone have any idea what the cause of the problem might be?

A quick google search tells me this is fairly common, and it seems only a Dell technician can fix it (by replacing the motherboard).

Assuming it is not a case of same model name, different sub model name and features is that not a VGA port?

Anyway I saw the same threads Originality did. Chalk another one to the "this is why we don't buy AIO computers" body count.
