It’s possible the backlight on your monitor has died.....

It is old. Like almost 10 years old. But a blue screen comes up and says “hdmi 1: no signal”. So the monitor must be working right? If it shows anything at all.

Yes if there is something on there it’s fine.....how do you know that the computer itself hasn’t failed....like a hard drive or whatever....

That's usually the solution to most computer problems that is fixable at home for those who know little about computers.

That can be very true. At other times there can be purpose to the madness of simplicity in troubleshooting. Little things overseen even missed sometimes by technicians. I think of it as a flowchart starting simple and getting more complex if the problem isn't solved by easier means.

I am doing ok. I went out despite my voices and had a good time. I ate a club sandwich and had ice coffee, then had hot dutch apple pie with vanilla ice cream. I am happy!! I also splurged on lotions and uv face lotion. I am trying to look good which makes me feel good too. I am so tired now though. But, I am happy!! The voices did not bother me while I was out and also now they are decreasing in volume. I am doing well and will work tomorrow from early in the morning. Have a great day everybody!!

I have to go to work but my husband is still sleeping. I’ll feel bad waking him up but I can’t work late today.
It’s going to be 86 with 95% humidity.
