PTP video problem. Veteran readers of this list may remember my post last Fall for info regarding a PTP that I had upgraded with a G3/400 processor, more RAM, Firewire and USB cards, and given to my son in Astoria, OR. All was well for about 3 months but a power spike fried the power supply. I learned on this list that a standard ATX type would work but while I was looking for one, my son goes out and buys a (shudder) PeeCee, a Dell. So I had him ship the PTP back to me here in Las Vegas via UPS. When it finally arrived it had obviously been dropped (my guess would be at least 15 or 20 feet) as the bottom styrofoam packing block was shattered, the case was bent, the PCI cards were all out of their slots, drive bay and fans hanging by one screw, in other words, it was a mess. After doing the "bodywork" I put everything back together with the new power supply I'd found on eBay and, SURPRISE!, It booted on the first try. All the drives work but there is one problem: the only resolution the TwinTurbo128 video card is supporting is 640 X 480. I know it was not like that before and if it was damaged in the accident how can it work at all? I've tried it in 3 different slots but no change.
I know this has been a long story but different enough that listers may find it interesting, so my question is this: Is it possible that the video card only needs software drivers or, if it must be replaced, what would be a reasonable choice? All info will be appreciated, Thanks, Ed -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
