Hello,
I'm working on a GT Complete and it turns on - marquee lights up, green board LED's flashing (green and red) and I can hear the hard drive turning off and on. If I turn the brightness all the way up on the monitor, it's dark red. I don't see any text. Once in a while I'll get some static from the speakers, but no recognizable voices/music. I tested voltages to the hard drive and on the green board (back of the molex connectors providing power) and I get 5.34vDC and 12.7vDC. From the posts I've read with similar issues, people have pointed to a bad video card.
I hooked up the the VGA port on the video card to a computer monitor, and the monitor power LED just flashes green (doesn't lock solid green as though a signal is received).
How do I determine if this is a hard drive, video card, or other issue?
Thanks
