   Can you change the monitor and cable? We do forlorn hopes here all the   
   time...   
      
   Screen artifacts? Lines? Characters?   
      
   Can you give us the advanced diagnostics error code [not that it fixes   
   anything]?   
      
   "XGA-2 graphics enabled with ISO 9241-3 when coupled with compliant   
   display and operating system"   
      
   After repeated "Beatings By Helga" (TM), my memory is kaotic, but some   
   snippets that XGA-2 prefers 95xx monitors. This does not mean 85xx   
   monitors won't work, but the 95xx support a wider range of resolutions.   
   This by itself is not the smoking gun, but IBM developed the monitor ID   
   function where the very limited circuitry [two resistors?] is in the   
   monitor.   
      
   Are you using a CRT or LED monitor? CRT will possumbly have the monitor ID.
