I was under the impression from searching around that the pinout is standard RGB, and that any multisync monitor capable of RGB would work fine (like the Apple MultiSync 15AV). Although I used a VGA monitor, I was using a multisync capable adaptor that I use for connecting said monitor to Macs all the time. I've yet to run into a Mac that it wouldn't work with, although this iMac could be a first, I tend to think there is no signal coming from the port. (I can connect a different Apple branded monitor to it later and see what happens, but I'm guessing the same result) >You have a dead analog board. Part costs about $150. I do them all day >long in the shop. Would this stop the internal video connector (which is connected to the logic board) from sending a video signal? All the "hack" directions out there for moving a Rev A into another case don't seem to indicate that you need to bring the Analog board along in the conversion. I think what I am trying to determine is, what role does the Analog board play in the operation of the iMac? Is it just there to drive the internal CRT? Or does it push power out to the logic board in which case the death of it may in fact prevent the logic board from being fully activated (and thus prevent a boot) Any idea what part commonly dies on the analog board? I have no intentions of replacing the entire board at a cost of $150. If however there is a cheaper dead component of the board, I would consider replacing it instead (such as a $5.00 capacitor... although a $70 Flyback transformer probably exceeds my cost threshold).
