So my heart lies somewhere in between the G's and the PCI Power Macs and as such, I'm the proud new owner of a Beige G3 mini tower complete with the keyboard, mouse, restore CDs, manuals, and box... for about $40. The caveat was the video was outputting lines. I received the computer today and like a kid at Christmas, set everything up for that trial run. The problem was just as described so I first tried removing the 4MB stick of SGRAM and it exhibited the same symptoms. Next up, I ran into the basement and pulled the video card out of my temporary donor Yosemite G3 (Ironic, I understand), powered the beige monster on and got excited when my LCD power LED changed from orange to green... for 3 seconds then back to orange and never came back. Am I missing a jumper or something of the like or is it time to track down a new MOBO? For good measure I threw the card in my G4 AGP and it works just fine. Any ideas?
