Not quite; not having a monitor plugged in to the port is what disables onboard

Can the NuBua card be installed if the onboard video is out?

The problem is that the early Macs put out the sync ONLY on the green video

There are many companies that make them. I know that Griffin makes ones for
modern Macs. You need one that is DB-15 to VGA (HD-15). You don't need a
fancy one with manual sense pin configuring, as you only need 640x480.

Hi
I’m wondering if the problem lies with the monitor. Can you connect to another
mac and see if there is any action. I had a similar problem, you’d get is a
monitor power supply starting up. but if there is an issue with the horizontal
sweep circuit (the part that usually goes wrong) then
I will scrutinize the mainboard around the video circuitry and look for damage
or soldier bridges. The board was cleaned before the recapping service sent the
board back.
To test the video I will look for another monitor or a vga adapter.

Good suggestions all.
Prior to sending the board in for recapping, the video worked perfectly with no
artifacts.
I will have to scrutinize the board around the video section to look solder
joint bridging or contamination.
As far as testing the monitor, what could I plug into it?

Great list Keith! I second Keith's suggestion of cleaning boards after
recapping. This always needs to be done since you can't always see the
electrolyte residue. This ends up being a hidden problem fairly often.

Hi D,
At the risk of sounding patronising (not intended, honest) have you eliminated
all the other possibilities?
- Was the Iici working before it was recapped?
- If yes, were there any particular symptoms such as odd images on screen?
Checkerboard? vertical lines?
