Blank screen indicates no signal. |

Typical tuner input, no channel, aka white noise. |

Probably a station close by, but not tuned in - a tuner input or possible the FM radio |

port. |

Typically a channel and input needs to be switched on before anything will display. |

an incorrect display setting, possibly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. |
