- Thanks for that.

I am becoming mildly exasperated at this stage still no video input. There
is a DAV socket on the logic board with nothing in it, should there be?

I have tried an s.video cable now too, through both built in AV module and
mystery pci card with s.video input, still nothing.

Any more input welcomed, especially video!!!
