Hi guys, I posted this in the Apple forums but this board is always way more helpful.
I just bought a new 23" Cinema Display. Plugged it in per the instructions, the computer turned on but the monitor stays black. The power light is on, but no picture.
I read there may be some power brick problems but could it be my video card is not good enough? On the Apple store page it says the 23":
"Requires Power Mac G4 or G5 with NVIDIA graphics or ATI Radeon 7500 graphics or better"
I have a 64MB ATI card that came standard with my comp when I bought it, is this good enough? here are the specs from the system profiler:
ATY,RV350:
Type: display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 64 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4150
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-A13601-126
Thanks for any help!
