So, started to boot my Toaster and the rgb moniter went blank. Turned off my 4000, back on again, nothing. Took everything out- put in a workbench floppy, nothing. One time I did see a fast yellow screen, then nothing. Any ideas. Thanks. John Fellers

John, Does the computer appear to boot…but nothing on the monitor, or does it appear that the whole computer is dead? If the first…obviously, have the monitor checked out first. If the second…open the machine and re-seat all the chips. if that doesn't help. Remove all the boards you can from inside the machine and try to boot it…if it boots, add back the boards one at a time and see which board causes the problem. If none of the above works…time to find a repair shop. Don

(Chips, boards, etc) and that all the connectors are tight? :)—Holly–<–<-@

I'll give that a shot. Right now, I'm using by back-up, 2000 w/2.0 card and Smith YC. My signal looks cleaner than the 4000 w. On my BetaUVW1800, I don't have the ghosty, noisey blacks when using the 2000. Maybe I'll dump the 4000 w/4000card. Thanks
