Need help with G5 / 23" Cinema Display...

[anastasis]

Hey,
I have a dual g5 2ghz with a 23" HD Cinema Display. Up until two days ago everything was working fine. Now I do not get any video feed on the display at all. The light for power is on and I can turn the computer on and put it to sleep using the button on the screen, however nothing shows up. The computer is running because I can eject the optical drive.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can start to troubleshoot this?

Do you have access to another monitor? Perhaps an old VGA screen that you could plug into the second port on your video card. I believe that G5s came with a DVI to VGA adaptor.

It could be that your video card is bad. Or maybe your 23" lcd is busted.

I know, but I work within a school district so getting support is not that easy unfortunately. I checked it out with a VGA monitor and it worked fine. BLASTED 23" HD DISPLAY!!!!!
