screen remains dark when box is on
I am somewhat new to UNIX.
I inherited a sun ULTRA 5 box from my cousin. When I turn it on it seems to be working alright but I can't get a picture on the screen. The sound output from the CD player is working. The machine seems to be working but the only thing missing is the picture. When I turn it on, the monitor remains dark with no color.
Any idea whta's going on?

HISTORY
Sopwith was originally designed as a demonstration game for the Imaginet Networking System developed by BMB CompuScience of Canada. The
system failed to become popular but Sopwith became a popular game for the IBM PC and compatibles. A sequel "Sopwith 2" was actually a newer
version rather than a different game, but included many extra features, such as Oxen and birds. Sopwith was also ported to the Atari. The
original author, David L. Clark, later created Sopwith - The Author's Edition with several extra features including missiles. This version
of sopwith is based on the source for the Authors Edition.
