Do you speak computerease-Basic Computer Repair

Who turned off the lights. Well I was called by a customer. They complained that the monitor was dead. Hmmm, did it work last night (yes). I turned the pc on and off (front power light worked), that meant the pc was plugged in. Hard drive light came on (hard drive was working)- - well being as smart as I am, I checked the contrast control on the monitor and bam--it was turned all the way down. That contrast control wheel-controlled how much light the monitor received, if turned all the way down-guest what-no video or picture on the monitor.
