I recentlly pulled out my old shuttle system, which was never really used much. It worked a couple months ago before I moved. Anyway, I can't get it to display, turn on a monitor. Usually this would just mean I had to plug into the onboard video, or vice versa. In this case I've tried the PCI geforce2 that's in there, also the onboard. I've tried resetting the CMOS to see if it would default to onboard vga, nothing. I'm fairly sure everything still works on it, there must be something im missing.

Any ideas? Or some way to clear the memory just incase the cmos jumper isn't working (though ive even removed the batter for a few minutes just to be sure)
 
when you removed the batery did you also unplug power? Dumb question i know but why not ask the obvious.
 
yea i did.

unfortunately i can't really be more clear as i don't know wtf the problem is :(

Sometimes it wouldn't default to the onboard after i removed the pci card, so i'd have to put the pci card back in, go to the bios then switch it to "onboard vga first" then remove the pci. Now i can't get either one to load up. Maybe i'll pull the agp card out of my folding box and try that =s
