<< I was given a powerbase 240 mini tower that appears to be stock (no
upgrades). The problem is there is no video output to either the vga or
mac monitor out ports. The computer powers up and you cna hear the
hard-drive clicking away, but no video. I've checked it with known
working monitors and was wondering if the video/pci riser card is bad
and if I could just drop in another video card or replace the riser
card? I would really like to get the computer back in service so any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance >>
Hi-
I'm not familiar with your model machine, but in some Macs, if the
clock battery is weak or dead, there is no video signal. Try replacing the
battery.
