A customer dropped off a G5 Dual/1.8ghz to install some hardware.

There's a pair of 256MB DDR DIMMS, and a SATA hard disk. When I got it there was no hard disk installed and a pair of 128MB and 256MB DIMMs were installed.

When powered on there is no video. The original GeForce FX5200 video card is installed and I have a DVI-VGA adapter installed to the DVI port. The other one is the ADC connector (I think - I've never seen one up close).

The DVD burner's tray does not eject either.

Any ideas on what the problem with the video could be? It's really nice to see a G5 up close but right now it's a solidly-built aluminum paperweight.
