Hi, I woke my QS G4 from sleep today and the screen was blank, the cable is connected properly, the power is on on my monitor. I had had problems waking up my computer before where it crashed but this time everything was working (i could still open and close the cd drawer and play music using keyboard shortcuts) and my screen usually displays "No signal detected" but this time it was just blank!
I upgraded to 10.3.9 recently but everything was running smoothly as far as I know after this installation.
When I turned off my mac and turned it back on it started up as normal but still a blank screen.
Im going to try another monitor later but if thats not the problem, does anyone know what the problem might be?

Cheers Big-ears!

It sounds like a monitor issue to me. Has the monitor been acting strangely in the past days and weeks?

Theres a similiar post to this in the powerbook thread, I've been having this problem for a couple of days. I'm curious to this being a 10.3.9 issue. Everyone thats reported the problem has said they're on 10.3.9 now.
