Hardware

Greetings, I just acquired a blade 2000 and I am having some problem with the video...currently it has an XVR-1200. It will not display any data on the moniter directly connected to the adapter. I tried connecting a usb mouse & Keyboard..no joy. then I tried to connect t it via the comm 1 port on my laptop running hyper terminal. (i have a null cable connected) no joy....am i missing something. I would like to see this beast up and running.

cheers Sam
