Ok i know this is going to be something you have already done but i have to say it to assist you in troubleshooting. Can you ensure that all connections are properly connected. As for as the display i know for a fact on these if they have ever been yanked or pulled on, The connectors pull up from the mainboard and need to be retouched and soldered back down. As far as not playing if its shorting cause the monitor isnt connected properly the circuit overload protections for the unit comes on and shuts down the workstation. That applys for the onboard and the vga output. also might want to check the powersupply on the board itself.
