Hi,
I am a bit new to retro Macs. A friend asked to see if I might be able to fix his G4.
There is no display output from SVGA, or DVI to a known working dell monitor. There is no beep, or bing on power up. There is a small lit red led on the motherboard. I do not have a Apple keyboard to reset pram(nvram). The fans and HD's (4) all spin up. The ram sticks were tested in a windows machine and they work.
Shortly after boot the cpu heat sink gets very hot to the touch. I pulled out the PCI card for the extra 3 HD's, no change. I swapped the video card to another mac card, no change.
After I get a keyboard, suggestions on what to test next?
Thanks
