This is my friends PC, he built it a few years back, and he has been at college. He takes it with him home on break and then back to college. But he didn't use it over last break so it just sat around for about 2 months unused. Then when he tried to start it up it won't turn on. To clarify, the Pc starts up, but the screen won't come on. Now I also built a computer and have a bunch of extra things so I tested everything I could think of. I tried: a different HDMI, a different port (Display port), a new monitor, unplugging everything, checking the PSU, the ram, the GPU, Fans, motherboard reboot (took out battery + all power), the RED PSU switch in both positions, and tried both the motherboard HDMI and GPU HDMI. Nothing has worked, the PC still starts up but the screen just won't show anything but no signal. What are my options? If y'all can't help me fix this, where could I take it in the state of VA that could help me fix it? The specs are: 2060 i5-10400 16GB ram 2300 Thermaltake tr2 600w psu cooler master CPU fans 3x case fans ACER B460 MB Edited February 7 by Bruuuh

It's already too late. I'm worried it might have caused damage. Where is his place? What's the standard voltage there? If you're using 110V on a 220V setup, it's likely to fail quickly.

Most contemporary power supplies don’t offer a direct switch for 120 to 240 volts. Their input range typically spans 100 to 240 volts at 50-60Hz.

It's still active, I confirmed on Google too. Everything seems to function normally, but nothing shows up on the screen. I don't know the voltage here—it's in the US. The PC booted up at 220 volts and has been running for a while. It only started showing problems after those issues were identified; I tried the 110 mode then.

It makes sense – we need to estimate the model and manufacturer! Good luck!

Apologies, I addressed it. However, you've raised several queries, and none of your inquiries were addressed; you seem to be focusing on minor aspects rather than the main points.
