My computer turns on but there is no image on the screen

En esta vida hay que aprender de todo, así no nos guste o nos de miedo probar, a veces nos cuesta, pero debemos intentarlo, sobré todo si es para nuestro beneficio, y ahora que tenemos el uso de la tecnología, de las redes, con mas razón, hay que sacarle provecho, porqué aunque a muchos les cueste reconocerlo, solemos aprender mas de los videos por YouTube o tik tok, que haciendo cursos o estudiando.

Hace poco tuve de nuevo, otro inconveniente con mi computadora, justo el día de mi cumpleaños, a la amiga, le dio por no querer encender, por un momento me frustre, dije, solo a mi y al pato lucas, es que me suceden unas cosas que buee, sin embargo, trate de mantener la calma, era mi cumpleaños, tenia que pasarlo bien, así que lo deje, confiando en la pc vieja, pero que creen, ella tampoco me quiso colaborar.

Ni modo, respire, me quede tranquila, intentando hacer lo que podía por mi teléfono, el cual también esta que tira la toalla jajaja, pero bueno, ayer me reuní con un amigo, el siempre me apoya en estas situaciones, sabe de computadoras y eso, pensábamos que podía ser la fuente, por ende me presto una, para probar.

Lo hice, pero que creen, nada, la amiga no hacia nada, desconecte todo, le saque los cables, me costo conectar de nuevo la fuente, ese cable si que es duro, el del ATX, aun así, nada, no encendía la pantalla.

Dije, mañana lo intento de nuevo con mas calma, porque algo estaba pasando allí, pero no sabíamos que, todo indicaba que no era la fuente.

Bueno, yo no soy una experta en esta área, se que debería, pero como dicen por allí, echando a perder se aprende, y viendo videos por YouTube también jejeje, me puse hacerles caso, saque todo, incluso la tarjeta, la cual, aplique el viejo truco de limpiarla con un borrador, la cuestión, es que al hacer esto, que creen, aquí estoy escribiendo desde mi PC, la amiga encendió.

La verdad no se que pudo ser, mi amigo dice que pudo ser eso, que se lleno de polvo, y se pego, en fin, espero y ruego que haya sido solo esto, y de ahora en adelante me funcione normal, me deje trabajar.

A ustedes les ha pasado, que creen que pudo ser, los leo.

ENGLISH VERSION

In this life, we have to learn everything—even if we don’t like it or are afraid to try. Sometimes it’s hard, but we have to give it a shot, especially if it’s for our own good. And now that we have access to technology and social media, all the more reason to take advantage of it. Because even though many people find it hard to admit, we tend to learn more from YouTube or TikTok videos than from taking courses or studying.

I recently had another problem with my computer, right on my birthday. My computer just decided it didn’t want to turn on. For a moment I got frustrated and said, “It’s always me and Pato Lucas—things just happen to me, man.” However, I tried to stay calm; it was my birthday, and I had to have a good time, so I let it go and relied on my old PC, but guess what? It didn’t want to cooperate either.

Oh well, I took a deep breath, stayed calm, trying to do what I could on my phone, which is also on its last legs, hahaha, but anyway, yesterday I met up with a friend; he always supports me in these situations—he knows about computers and stuff. We thought it might be the power supply, so he lent me one to test.

I did it, but guess what? Nothing. The computer wouldn’t do a thing. I unplugged everything, pulled out the cables—it was a pain to reconnect the power supply; that ATX cable is really tough—but still, nothing. The screen wouldn’t turn on.

I said, “I’ll try again tomorrow when I’m calmer,” because something was going on there, but we didn’t know what. Everything pointed to it not being the power supply.

Well, I’m no expert in this area—I know I should be, but as they say, you learn by making mistakes, and by watching YouTube videos too, hehehe. So I decided to take their advice, took everything out, even the graphics card, which I cleaned with an eraser using that old trick. The thing is, when I did that—guess what?—here I am writing this from my PC; the computer turned on.

Honestly, I don’t know what it could have been. My friend says it might have been that—that it got full of dust and got stuck. Anyway, I hope and pray that was all it was, and that from now on it works normally and lets me get my work done.

Has this ever happened to you? What do you think it could have been? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
