Default Pc displays "out of range"

Hi
my PC which was working alright was tampered by my kids and it only
shows "OUT OF RANGE" on the monitor. How do I solve this problem? I'm
using windows 7 and an LCD monitor. I've tried changing the resolution
in SAFE MODE but to know avail(it works in safe mode). I've removed
the CMOS battery and the RAM in case it will help but the problem is
still there.


out of range just means the monitor can't determine what signal if any
that it's getting.

broken pins or the video connector are one cause of this, or just a bad
cable.

does any of the on screen display stuff work? If so, I'd check the cable
or try it on another computer or the computer with another monitor.
