FORGOT HOW TO HOOK-UP MONITOR (PF790) TO MAC G4.

I WAS IN A NURSING HOME FOR THE LAST 41/2 YEARS, AND MY SISTER THROUGH OUT ALL MY MANUALS. I USED TO KNOW HOW TO PUT THINKS TOGETHER INSTINCTIVELY, BUT I'M GETTING OLDER NOW!!!.
DO YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF A SCHEMATIC AROUND, AND CAN YOU TELL ME THE TYPES OF CABLES?

YOU HAVE A CABLE THAT HAS TO GO TO THE COMPUTER FROM THE MONITOR. AND ANOTHER ONEFROM THE MONITOR TO THE PLUG. BOTH CABLES SHOULD BE FITTED INTO THE MONITOR FIRST. YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE END OF THE CABLE THAT GOES TO THE COMPUTER AND LOOK FOR A MATCHING SOCKET. SEE ON THE BACK OF THE COMPUTER EITHER A KETTEL LIKE ACCEPTING PLUG SOCKET. LIKE ON THE KETTEL. AND THE CABLE FROM THE MONITOR SHOULD BE LIKE A THREE PIN KETTAL LEAD. OR IT MAY BE A CONNECTOR WITH PINNS IN IT FROM THE MONITOR INSTEAD OF THE KETTEL LEAD. WITCH EVER ONE IS FITTED. THE OPPOSING SOCKET WILL BE THERE. YOU FIT THIS TOGETHER AND IT WILL WORK. MAKE SURE THE COMPUTER IS PLUGGED OUT BEFOR TOCHING THE BACK. THE COMPUTER IS THE TOWER OR BOX THE MONITOR CONNECTS TO.

Have a look on the back of the monitor for the output socket.

If the socket is blue with 15 round holes then this is a SVGA socket, if it is white then it's a DVI socket. Though I believe that this monitor only had SVGA outputs.

Look for these same sockets on the G4, and connect the cable to the matching socket.

If you have one which is blue and one white you will need an adapter for the cable.

I have a sister in a nursing home in Wangaratta Vic Ph/57213573 Icon not ring in or she ring out the staff have switched the phone off and on at the power,no go please help.

Uncertain if you are talking about a cell phone or not, but, If it's an iphone you must manually turn on wifi calling in settings, under cellular tab. Enable wifi calling. iPhones do not default wifi calling to enable...I have had this experience myself in a nursing home. I used fb messenger to call out after I switched on wifi calling. Good luck.

I have a sister in a Nursing home in Wangaratta I canot ring her and she canot ring out No is0357213573 /Her name Mrs Betty Harper and I am her brother withPower of Attorney.

James I am guessing you do not know which nursing home your sister is in ?
If I were you I would try the nearest nursing home to where that phone number once was attached to.
This seems to be murdoch road Wangaratta
There is an aged care facility in Murdoch road on 03 57221784
Try calling them and asking them to check if your sister's phone is operational if she is residing there and give her phone number.

Privacy laws may prevent them from conforming she lives there over a phone call.

They may ask for evidence that you have power of attorney.

It won't turn on or power up

First thing to note is that the monitor is getting power - is power save originating in the computer or monitor ?
Try the monitor with a different computer and the computer with a different known good monitor
This will yell you where to focus your efforts

I tried to hook up my power mac g4 tower to a monitor and the screen is not coming on. It states monitor is on, now connect to computer.

Really, the only way to troubleshoot this problem is to connect your display to another computer and see if it functions; then connect your computer to another display and see if it functions. Once you have determined which unit isn't working correctly, you can proceed from there.

Imac g4 lcd black screen replaced pram battery

If you can find an older SVGA monitor, try hooking it up to the port on the back of your mac. If you get video then chances are the LCD display is shot.

My powerbook g4 screen is black what can I do?

Try restarting, if still not picture, then try hitting function key + F5 at the same time. Some laptops have a little icon the key that looks like a monitor as well.

If not try hooking up your laptop to a regular computer monitor and see if you can get a picture and fix the problem that way.
