back. I wonder if you would normally see a single blinking cursor when the
unit is powered up. Maybe there is no boot text but do you recall at least
seeing a cursor before? It is a bit worrisome that the problem is the monitor.

<p class=MsoNormal>I didn't realize you had so many of the things. :) Yeah, if
they ALL act the same... Then again, if there are any dissimilar metal
connections anywhere, that could be a problem. I've dealt with Gold on Tin
connections that corrode over time. Something to consider.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>There's probably some button that needs to be pressed that
will force the BIOS and boot-up displays at startup. If that doesn't exist,
then there would, again, probably be a jumper somewhere. How could a tech ever
diagnose a problem? Even on Mac systems, there are keys that can be pressed to
see the full boot-up. (I think it's something like (Command-V). V is for
Verbose)<o:p></o:p></p>

color:#1F497D'>Good info from Scott. Sorry as I don’t know the
hardware. Does this have a hard drive or does it just boot and run from
the floppy? I have some 3.5” DOS boot disks for the TLC. I always
keep DOS machines running. Even have a laptop that will boot from a
disk. If you want a copy, I can send one. Probably a reset of the
BIOS will help. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
