Michael, I just pulled the 1MB cache and, lo-and-behold, I get video! Of course, the machine feels pretty sluggish now... Do you recommend keeping the cache out or can I replace it in the future? Any idea why the cache causes problems and how it can be avoided in the future? Or is the cache problem really caused by some other problem and it's just a symptom?... More questions, I'm afraid... ;-) I still have to figure out why it got messed up in the first place, but at least now I'm getting video and it's booting... Thanks!
