    You get nothing on the monitor at all ?

    No BIOS info? nothing?

    Is everything else working? fans? do you hear the hard drive? lights on the drive?

    Tried replugging the cable? Tried unplugging the computer from the main for a few minutes?

    Do you have another monitor you can try (like the one you're reading now?)

    What is the exact Tiny model & # etc.?

    Are you familiar with opening it up?

    Do you know if the monitor is plugged into a graphics card or the Motherboard?

    If you can open it up try reseating the Video Card (if it has one).

    Tiny's on line support isn't too great

    http://support.tiny.com/support/default.asp

    You can find drivers via Download | Display | nVidea
    But of course that won't get you anywhere in the dark

    If you don't have another graphics card to try I would look over the motherboard & search for the battery. (A camera like flat disk battery). If you see it take it out for like 10 minutes then replace & try to boot.

    Do you have a manual? Unlike most companies Tiny does not put theirs on line

    I would look for any switches & or jumpers on the motherboard to clear the CMOS. Removing the battery may do this.

    Also any chance there is a VGA connection (monitor plug) on the motherboard?

    right i tried all those things ive got all the drivers for graphics on disc but like you say its no good if i cant see. tried the battery thing no luck with that no switches or anything like it on the motherboard. i plugged the moniter into moniter plug on the motherboard it does exactly the same thing (monitor clicks straight to standby) and no ive got no manual lol sorry to be a pain but any more ideas?
