Re: Screen goes black

[Ron Stuart]

Thanks Tom, I have done that along with all the other recomendations 
that were made on this list. We'll see what happens now. Just though, I 
had my computer on another monitor when it quit last time, Oh well, a 
different monitor now is a good change.

I have had a similar situation on my B&W G3/350. I was using an Apple
Color Sync monitor.
It would start up and run with a beautiful clear screen right to the
point when the screen went black.
The monitor power light would be on but no video.
I tried other video cards, unplugging and re-seating everything. I
then tried it on another B&W G3 with the same results.
Needless to say the problem was eliminated by procuring another 
monitor.
The problem one now resides under the table and supports other items
that need a final home.
Someone mentioned dust/dirt buildup. I guess I need to take the case
off the problem monitor and check. Who knows I might have a spare
monitor that I didn't think I had.

My recommendation; Test your monitor on another computer. That way
you either eliminate or confirm the monitor as the problem.
My 2� worth,
