I agree, and that was going to be my second suggestion Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

Which specific Apple monitors are you using? Later monitors meant for the Mac will not work with the Apple IIgs as they cannot sync at 15khz.

Henry, you were correct! I attached a composite monitor and now see a beautiful animation telling me I don't have a startup disk.
Is the onboard RGB repairable or am I looking at a custom chip that is hard to come by? I would hate to have to use a TV and not my Apple monitor. The TV would ruin the whole aesthetic of the IIgs to be honest.

Hi, I have an Apple IIgs and when I boot it I hear a beep shortly followed by another beep. The screen remains black. I've tried a second known working Apple monitor to the same result.
I've tried it with both floppy drives attached and not attached. I don't have any disks but was assuming I would at least see a complaint on the screen about missing startup disk. I don't see anything.
Does anyone know what my issue is or can you recommend a good Apple II troubleshooting site? Working on Apples isn't something I have much experience with.
