I don't know about that model, but have known some older Compaqs with
integrated video to suffer onboard video failures that could be fixed by
reflashing the BIOS.  Check to see what BIOS and/or video-specific flash
updates might be available from Compaq for your model.

Of course, you'll need to plug in a separate video card in order to run the
flash update.

Subject: [PCBUILD] no monitor activity

I have a Compaq 5108US 5000 series. It has integrated Savage 4 video. It
used to work fine now I don't seem to get any signal from the video port.
When it boots up there is no beeps and no signs of life and the monitor just
flashes
"Please check video cable connection". If I plug the same monitor into
another system it works fine. Any suggestions?
