Try the 13W3 connector since that's where the colour video signals will come
out. 

Also, hook up a serial terminal to the first serial port and see what you
get when the machine powers up. If you disconnect the Sun keyboard (assuming
you have one with the machine), it should force the first serial port to be
used as the console device.
