OT: onboard video dead, what next?
hi folks,
ok, what do I do now... I have a Dell Optiplex GX1 (Don't kno much
about the motherboard 'cept it's a funky folded-up board w/ the PCI
slots at right angles to the rest of the board). It seems to me to
boot up fine, to find, for instance, the hard drive and the CD;
ethernet connects fine (I can ping but naught else -- I think the hard
drive has windows something-or-other installed on it); but I get no
signal out of the onboard video (this worked fine last time I tried
the machine out but it's been used by a not-so-careful friend for a
while). I actually want to set this up as a server so am not too
particular about the video access.. but I guess I need video to
e.g. see the BIOS screen or any other such thing.
So what do I do next? Anyone know the procedure?
thanks,
matt
