I'm hoping someone might have a clue as to what the problem is with this Indy. I picked up the machine about 5 years ago with a failed Nidec PSU. Recently I decided to bite the bullet and fix the power supply, and after much work and replacement of failed components, it's now working.
The problem is that I can't get any graphics output from the 24bit Newport graphics card. When I start up with a console connection, the message "Cannot Open Video(0) For Output" is displayed, and "hinv" doesn't list any graphics card present. I've cleaned all the contacts and reseated everything, carefully looked at the motherboard and graphics card top and bottom for any damage, but everything looks fine. When powered up there are voltages present on the 13w3 connector and the heatsink on the graphics processor is warm, so it seems to be operating, but the system can't see it.
I guess best way to troubleshoot would be to try a different graphics card, but I'm in Australia and they are not exactly easy to find. Plus the price being asked even for 8 bit cards is a bit crazy. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could try to diagnose/fix the problem?
