HI<br />
I have a 7100/80 AV with 16 mb ram running system 7.5. I t had been acting very slow for some time - read slower than a mac plus...especially for screen refreshes (a very slow mo version). Running Norton reported reasonable speeds for all things except for video which clocked in at 0.25% of a Quadra 610. Zapped Pram, ran a virus check etc to no avail<br />
Finally, yesterday the video went out altogether. The monitor green light comes on and then goes out. The rest of teh computer appears to boot up and go through its motions. Is it likely that the AV board has died. There seems to be another monitor port on the computer, but the connector is not the kind that the monitor cable goes to. ANy ideas on how to access that port or connect to it. My books are lost. Also, any point in reformatting my hard disk and putting a new system on ?<br />
Thanks<br />

7100 AV board dead ?

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

Apple Hardware

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
