As the title suggest, there is a phantom display on the eMac. There is no plugged in for the display port. So, there is no reason why this should come up. How to resolve this problem? I have tried resetting pram, reinstall the OS. It's 10.3 by the way.
Added on July 2, 2009, 2:15 pmIt's giving me problem, as eMac don't support extended screen. So, the screen size on the eMac screen is being adjusted to 640X480. And this had given me a hard time trying to even update the OS as I can't reach the Agree button on the agreement window. This post has been edited by shoguniphicus: Jul 2 2009, 02:15 PM

That was my first thought of solution. But, mini vga converter don't just grow on tree. Anyway, after my thorough, going through the whole morning to check the cause. It turns out that the former designer misplaced the original eMac restore discs. The one I used, was for previous iBook. What a bummer. spent the whole morning just to realise it. Cause I remembered when i check hardware information in my mbp. It used to have a lot more information that just hardware no, rom no. and so on.
My guess would be eMac specific 10.3 restore disc was required. Searched high and low, and behold, it was under the dusty cupboard where not even mouse would visit.
Problem solved! Thanks for helping anyway. :DDD
