Look, Look, Look and
Listen
What else
can we learn from the computer if we stop to listen? Consider this.
You turn the computer on and the monitor is black. Is the computer
dead? Listen! Can you hear the hard drive spinning up? Does the
printer clack as the system boots up? If everything sounds normal
but the screen is black then you need to check on the connections to
the monitor. Another good place to look is the power switch: is the
monitor turned on?
Listen to
your computer. It may be trying to tell you something.
