New hard drive, broken monitor?

[JoJimi]

I just put a new 500 gb hard drive in my lenovo s10 and now when i turn it on the screen stays blank.

The 2 lights on the front of the computer light up and it sounds like the fan comes on but nothing else happens. no beep, no lenovo splash screen, just, nothing.

has anyone else had this problem and does it sound like the video card or the moniter is dead?

thanks for any info.

Ok i reseated the ram, reseated the hard drive connection and it seems to be working fine again.
