You're experiencing an issue where your PC boots up but the monitor display remains inactive. You've already checked the battery and tried various cables, so you're looking for other potential solutions. Consider testing different power sources or checking the display connections thoroughly. If problems persist, consult a technician or manufacturer support.

check if your cable connects to the GPU or the motherboard. It’s hard to tell from the video. It should go into the GPU (the lower ports on the back). How long have you left it there? For an AMD build, they might run RAM training and it can take 5-10 minutes before it boots up. I’m not 100% sure, but that could be relevant.

Use a pencil to remove debris from the GPU and RAM pins. If this fails, try reinserting the CPU.

Understood! It’s tough to offer advice without knowing the system details. How do you confirm it’s starting properly if there’s no visual feedback? Just turning it on isn’t enough—posting correctly is essential. If your monitor isn’t switching inputs automatically, it might not be working right. Most devices should handle this automatically, but some may need manual setup.
