Re: [SM] S900 with no video

[Paul Corsa]

When I first received my LaCie 19" electrom Blue CRT I plugged it into 
the PC Video connector on my Twin turbo, which gave me an "out of synch" 
message.  When I upgraded to the ATI Radon 7000 and used the same 
connection option I received the same message. The Radon did come with 
an adaptor plug to convert the PC video connector to MAC style- when I 
used this my problems disappeared. Paul C

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
