DP G5 running OSX 4.11 fails to wake up the monitor on start up.
Monitor at the moment is a Dell flat panel but it was the same with
my old Apple studio
monitor.
Ok. So it's not the display.
G5 chimes happily but monitor's amber light stays amber and fails to go green.
Ok. So it's not the power manager, cpu, or basic bus interconnects.
Disconnecting all USBs and pulling power cable for ten minutes
improved matters
but now I have to power up 3-4 times or just leave it to another day.
So it's the card slot, video card, or cable.
I pulled the graphics card (ATI Radeon 9600 pro), and tested for wobbly joins,
dust, anything else but drew a blank.
Check the system.log for error messages.
Try a different cable.
Try a different interface.
Try a different video card.
