[rescue] Ultra 1 no video...

[Thomas Gallaway]

I had a Creator 3D card blow up inside a Ultra1 once. It was so loud my 
roommate could
hear it on the other side of the house.

Console might be the best bet and see if the ultra1 is still working. I 
think probe-all should
show you all the devices. Did you try to reseat the creator card?
