I've been a lurker here for quite awhile, and this is my first post. I
have both a C600 and a DP S900. My problem is with the S900 (duh).
Anyway, a while back it wouldn't start with video on my 17" Apple B&W
display (said something about "out of synch range" on the screen), but
if I plugged it into an old 15" PC monitor it would start with video,
then I could unplug the PC monitor, plug the B&W monitor in and turn it
on and be okay. It still had the stock video card. Then it suddenly
decided to boot to a black screen on the PC monitor. I know the monitor
still works because I tried it on an old PC and it was fine. So was the
B&W monitor. So I thought that maybe the video card had been going wonky
and had died. I then got a Rage Pro 128 out of an old B&W Powermac and
tried it. Still no video on either monitor. I have tried swapping the
cards to different slots with no success either. I'm sure the machine is
booting, as I hear the drives spin up and seek, and the startup chime,
but I can't get anything but a black screen. The machine has two drives,
with OS 9 on one, and OS 8.6 and BeOS 5 on the other. Could it be the
PCI bus on the mainboard has died? A power supply problem? Any
suggestions would be much appreciated!
TIA
John
