My W10 PC boots up, fan spins, HDD spins but there is no output to monitor, which shows 'no signal' and the keyboard does not light up. I have tried all the suggested diagnostics such as unplug power, take out the CMOS battery, re-seat the RAM, clean RAM etc but nothing. It did come back on a few weeks ago for a few days then reverted to display showing 'no signal'. Any suggestions how to get this PC to display and work again are welcome.
Many posts i have read suggest entering BIOS etc or settings - i cannot do this as no display!
Please suggest fixes for my situation as above.
Thanks

Thanks for your answer, however i have checked all cables and connections and these are fine (work with other pc). Re step 2 - i cannot boot to safe mode as there is no monitor signal so i cannot see anything except a black screen.
how can i boot my PC to safe mode if i cannot see anything?
I can't change the signal resolution either as no monitor!!
'No signal' means that your monitor is not receiving a video signal that it can display. This is usually due to one of the following causes:
1- The cable going from your computer to your monitor is loose. Power off the monitor, re-attach the cable at both end, power on your monitor. (This step is N/A if you have a laptop or an AIO.)
2- The signal your graphics card is sending to your monitor can't be displayed by your monitor. Boot the computer to Safe Mode, choose a low resolution signal, restart your computer normally, switch to the 'Recommended' resolution for your monitor.
To change the signal resolution: Start > Settings > System > Display > Display resolution.
Your problem is not related to your BIOS, unless you made changes to the BIOS yourself.
Your fault could be anywhere along this path:
Graphics Hardware.
Monitor > Cable > Port on Computer > which is either connected to a Graphics Card in a slot on the Motherboard or to Onboard Graphics Hardware which is part of the Motherboard.
Unfortunately there is no way except to swap and test Graphics Card, etc.
