Boot TS - No Video, No Sound, Speaker Questionable

Explanation: There is no video or audio, but the speaker may not be working properly.

Diagnosis: The problem could be the speaker itself, and this potential problem must be eliminated so you can find out for sure if the PC is emitting any sounds when it tries to boot. These sounds are what the system BIOS uses to communicate when it cannot access the video card for some reason.

Recommendation: Establish that the speaker is working. Open up the PC and double-check the connection to the speaker. Speakers rarely fail so if it is connected properly then it should work. Verify that the speaker works; if you are unsure about it then get a replacement speaker. Then boot the PC again and return here.
