In fact, I replaced that connector because you're right, the original one was messed up. I have a hot air/desoldering station from way back when I loved electronics, now I hate it, so replaced it myself.

Just tested that again and nothing shows up when it boots.

Guess I still don't feel that it's ruled out yet because the breakout cable I've got that converts s-video to composite isn't one I've used in a very long time. I do have one of those things that I did use recently but can't find it. I'll keep looking though.

While the replacement card is on it's way, I'll spend that time putting the new mobo back into the case since the new card is PCI-E.
