Dear forum support,
I recently ran into a problem at the organization I started working recently. I ran into a situation (which is a somewhat long story and complicated), but basically I created a Windows Server R2 image into a bootable USB flash drive, and I did the usual to enable booting up from USB device, however when I was in the Bios settings, I lost video signal. I thought maybe it was the monitor dying on me, or I accidentally moved the cable.
I have tried using several VGA cables and monitors and it does detect analog input but the monitors always go back to sleep and there's no signal (it does however say to turn computer on - but the server is already on).
Everything else is working fine, the keyboard lights are all light up, caps lock, num lock, they all work and light up when pressed.
The mouse laser's lights up, the front small LCD panel is blue, as well as the Identification button on the back.
I am so sorry if this is a noob question, but I really hope the VGA adapter did not die :(
Currently my organization doesn't have access to the server because the only enabled boot option right now is through USB, but I can't see anything.
I am thinking there is a quick way to solve this, but I am just missing something?
Additionally, would the LCD panel on the front tell you if the VGA adapter isn't working correctly? I figured it should since it can tell you if the front cover chasis is in place or not.
Thanks in advance!
