My heart sunk when I traced the problem back to the MB yesterday.

I was going to hook up a monitor and test that today. I'll let you know
what I find.
>Is the 70 making booting noises at all?
It does beep when setup completes. It also boots into Windows, as I can see
the HDD LCD blink and then stop after a minute or so. I shut the system
down with memorized keys. I have a bad feeling that a video chip somewhere
on the MB has fried.
>Is it
>possible that it's been set to 'external' video only?
Guess I'll find out when I hook up a monitor. But that flashing before the
screen went black sure seems like a chip heading south to retire.
>does the screen light up black when it's turned on (look in a dark room)?
Haven't tried looking in a dark room, but the screen is pretty darned black
while the system boots. I'll check.
I don't even see that blinking cursor in the upper left corner when Setup
runs, and before the system is configured. I would think I should always
see that cursor no matter how the system configured.
I hope it's not too early to ask this without jinxing myself, but I wonder
how much new/used replacement MBs go for the 70CT... though I can't just pop
out my old P120 CPU and put in a new MB can I... argh...
Well... let me go plug in a monitor.
Ciao,
Matt
