I mentioned Henry by name in my response. Unfortunately, I was previously subscribed to digest mode and couldn't figure out how to reply to his email directly. I have since changed my settings and can now reply to individual responses as they come into my inbox. Apologies to Henry. Did not intentionally mean to cut the thread.

I don’t know why, but for some reason you did not post Henry’s suggestion in your reply

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.
