Hi,I'm actually not an apple user and are trying to help a friend who's having some problems with hers.She's running a G3.osx.10.39 version and upon starting a warning states"DPMS going to off mode" and beleive this is as far it will allow.She has recently had a cd drive changed,but it was working ok for a few days.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

regards Glenn
 
Sounds like the monitor's warning. Maybe the display is just not correctly attached? (Check all connections...) Or the Mac wants to display a resolution the monitor can't really do... Then I'd a) try to connect _another_ display to see whether that works or b) reset nvram/PRAM. (Hold down Cmd-Opt-P-R at boot time until the chime comes up again. For good measure, hold it down until it goes through that cycle two times...)
