I really don't know what to tell you about the video, but yes, I'd say it
could be damaged. Try cleaning the connector, and see if that helps. As for
the Mac losing its settings, find a small black box on the motherboard. Pull
off the top, take out the battery, and replace it with another of the same
type (New, of course.) That should fix your problem. A Mac stores its
settings in the PRAM, powered by that battery, much like a PC stores its
settings in the CMOS.
Good luck,
Deven Gallo

<< Hey-lo all,
'couple IIsi questions here...
1. My IIsi has an aftermarket video card in it, taking
up its one and only expansion slot. It *looks* like
the onboard video is toasted - absolutely no reaction
when I hook up the video to the default slot. Is there
any way to "repair" the onboard video? Just curious
because I'd like to hunt down a Nubus 10baseT card and
stick it in there instead. Yes, I've done this with
the other video card out.
2. Also - she seems to lose her settings, at least as
far as the video goes. Often, when I boot up, it'll be
greyscale. (It is a color video card.) I can head into
monitors and switch to color without a problem. It's
*not* staying plugged in - I need a second monitor and
keyboard, actually - so I'm half thinking it's got a
bad CMOS battery, but I"m not sure if this setting is
stored there or not (wouldn't make much sense to me,
being an old PC-head here, but what do I know...) Is
it, or is there a file not getting updated, or...???
