which os are you using? os 9 want to boot into 640X480 so the monitor has to be able to do that. the apple monitor you tried may not support this. how many times did you try the pc monitor? it's possible you just didn't get a good connection the first time, any pc monitor should do 640X480 (which is why apple chose to boot up at that resolution). it may, just may be a problem with a broken solder joint on the card and only having one sync line driven instead of both. if you have sync, it would take all 3 color signals being bad to not get any display. i assume you've tried zapping the pram? best to do it 3-5X as some things don't clear unless it's done repeatedly and then try to boot off of the os cd so you know everything is good software wise. if it will boot with the os cd, run the drive utilities from the cd on your hard drive and trash the monitor and finder preferences (assuming you are trying to use os 9) as they can become corrupted and the system build new, correct preferences for those 2 when it boots on that drive. hope this helps, i must admit i haven't been following this thread so please excuse me if i've gone over old ground.
