Hello; Odd that we're having several reports of SuperMacs suffering thinkus non compus at power-on.
My J700 has been sitting idle for several months. Today I connected it to its old friend, an Apple 15" monitor, turned on the monitor, turned on the J700, and no video signal ever came across. The green light never replaced the amber light on the monitor's on switch. Tried another monitor; same story. I can hear the HD spinning, I can see the CD drive spinning when I try to boot from a system or diagnostic cd, but no signal seems to be getting out the back of the video card. I pressed the video cards down into their slots (yes, there are two video cards) to be sure they're seated, and both monitors worked as recently as day before yesterday. Could the mobo have died of a broken heart since I now use my iMac most of the time? Could a PRAM/CUDA ritual be in order? Does anyone know the whereabouts of an accessible .pdf or other J700 tech repair manual? Perplexed in Long Beach, Tom -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
