[Cube] Cube DC-VRAM-Board or what else?

[Stefan]

Hi Gilbert,

you used some english expressions I'm not used to.

So I ask back: As I believe to understand it was 
the connector of the ADC-TFT-Monitor in your case.
Is that wright? And you didn't find a solution 
(does that mean a replacement-Connector?) for 
your Apple TFT?

Hope I understood it...

Best regards
Stefan

>>Hi friends,
>>
>>
>>my second cube makes problems...
>>
>>Hope you can give me a hand.
>>
>>Some days ago the family watched a DVD and 
>>finally the cube shut off and wasn't to restart.
>>I tried everything.
>>
>>Finally I could restart it. (First it restarted even with the Formac ADC...)
>>But again it shut down.
>>
>>What I've tested:
>>Other HD (the original 20 GB)
>>Other ATi (another original like the one in the cube ATi Rage 128)
>>Other monitor (VGA-CRT)
>>
>>And I could find out:
>>
>>- With my Formac Gallery ADC 17" TFT the cube won't start up.
>>- with a VGA-CRT at the VGA it starts and runs without problems.
>>- it starts without any problems without any monitor.
>>- when the ADC-TFT is plugged in with the cube running it shuts down.
>>- the Formac is dead all the time (no light, no reaction at all)
>>- That happens with the intact second graphic card too.
>>
>>(My first idea was an overheated graphic card)
>>
>>
>>QUESTION:
>>Is it the DC/Board or has anyone another idea?
>>
>>
>>By the time: it is the original cube, but has a 
>>large HD, max. RAM, that's all.

>>Thanks for your answers in advance
