Yes, I'd agree with Susan here - try to narrow down the problem. If you don't have another screen to try, can you find another computer to try your screen on.
If another screen works on your G5, it points to a problem with your screen. If another (known working) screen doesn't work on your G5, it points to a problem with the G5 (though it doesn't necessarily mean your screen is OK). If your screen works with another computer it points to a problem with your G5 (probably but not necessarily the graphics card). If your screen doesn't work with another (known working) computer it points to a problem with your screen (though it doesn't necessarily mean your G5 is OK). The other thing to check (assuming its a separate item) is the video cable between the computer and screen - ie try another cable if you have/can borrow one or try your cable in another computer/screen combo (if available). Every test tells you something (though not necessarily the complete picture!) Good luck. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
