[QUOTE="maketo, post: 889115, member: 115819"] Hello, I got a free (yeah, right as if it was going to be really free!) 17" G5 ALS (power pc kind) and after a few weeks the power supply died. I got a new one, replaced the old one - now the box will boot but the display is dead. Assuming that it is really dead - can I just get a DisplayPort-to-VGA converter and display everything on an external monitor? Or do I need to be able to boot the box and login and set something up in the Display section or whatever the section is in the Preferences screen (can you tell I am really not a Mac person to start with? :). Anyone has any suggestions on how to get this box going (without the obvious screen replacement)? Thanks! OD [/QUOTE]
