Hi everyone, i have a problem with a G4 Digital Audio, the computer does the normal mac start-up sound but there is no image i've tried with other screens and no image, the computer hasan't been used in 10 years, its still in a studio with no humidity problems or heat problems and i can't get it to work.

Can anyone help me please

Try reseating the video card. If that doesn't work, the video card may need replacing.

Open it up, take out the video card, put it back in again. You'll need a screwdriver.

Mine has the stock card in it, and it has ADC and VGA. Mactracker says the stock cards had 1 ADC and 1 VGA. Yours is likely an upgraded graphics card.

Turn off the computer, open her up, take the graphics card out, and then place it back in. Just be careful not to yank so hardly that you mess up the fan or anything else vital--gentle pressure is the key.
