I got a second-hand G3 today, turned it on, worked fine. After a while I rebooted, and got weird video artefacts (stripes etc.) while it was booting up, although once the desktop appeared everything was OK again. One reboot later, the entire desktop was screwed, the mouse pointer was a big white stripy square!
Now I'm not getting any video at all. When I turn the system on, I hear it starting up, but there is nothing on the screen. I've reseated the RAM and video card, but that hasn't helped. I don't see why it would work one minute and then fail like it has.
Any ideas?
Edit: I reseated the card again and now I have video back
