YAY.. no how the FRICK does the lcd work.. lol i don't know how to access it.. cause it plugs into the motherboard.. i think i got a serial out of it.. hold on..
 
yeah google is freakin great when it is right... ... there is supposed to be a .. cn5 cn7 or cn8... and umm... i don't have any of those.. i looked in teh book to see the locastin and the pieces that are supposed to be sodered there are not there..
 
Have a look under where the usb ports are.
The picture of the card I found had a vidio out there.

Luck......... :D
 
haha i know.. there are 3 different things that are supposed to be aroudn there.. a reg vga port like u see in that picture and a 10 pin adapter thing and someother thing.. but... NONE OF THEM ARE FREAKIN THERE! ... it has to be all through this lcd... arh...

If you look closer it is a DB-9, a serial port
 
ok guys this is what i have done.. since my makeshift switch works i'm goin to go out and get a real one.. w/ on off... but right now i have it duck taped down to keep the machine one... i purchased a pci graphics card from wallyworld and a usb to ps2 convertor for my keyboard and mouse cause ... i dind't have a usb keyboard.. but yeah... i also atached a dvd drive and am now installing windows server 2003 web edition... sooo i think i am goin to get it all straightened out... i just need to find a way to get the lcd to work... so i can get this makeshift switch outa there.. but for now... it works..
 
I believe there is an LCD faq somewhere. Might help get that thing workin.
 
/me groans at server 2003 going on such a sweet piece of hardware.

freeBSD would make it sooooo much more efficient...
