moniters

well i have had this nokia 21inch multisync 445x for some time now, just sitting in the garage idle. now that i got the 5 piece bnc connector i needed and hooked it up to the computer....which supports vga=><=bnc , and i also have a ati 9000le on it, it still dosent work...the moniter has a message on it as a default saying sync not avalible.so.this brings me to beleive that there is a sync problem, which there could very well be....

so i did some research, and what i found was nothing that could help me in the area of trouble shooting a moniter this size and especially this specific moniter which is hard to come by and really expensive.so my question is can any one help?has any one ever owned one of these beasts?have you ever known of someone having this problem or heard about it?thanks guys/pille'

#1 NEVER ground yourself when working with monitors.

#2 NEVER work with monitors unless you're TRAINED (yes, officially trained) to do so.

Stray voltages exist in those buggers that can fry you in ONE second, even if turned off and disconnected.

Cheaper, safer and easier to buy a new monitor.


Btw- I'm an A+ (plus cisco and microsoft) certified computer tech, and I wouldn't even go into a monitor to do a repair.

yes i know im also a+.net+.....and working on my ciw....safety has been my life for years but still the question is not answered:)im not asking a question about the hardware or getting inside of it.my question is a statement of known problems not a certification battle:)

Pille - it´s the sync !

The RGBHV cable splits the video signal into five. There are three different types of RGB cables. RGBHV is a five-cable system that splits the video signal for color into red, green, and blue, and then has two more cables to carry the sync for the signal (horizontal and vertical sync). RGB H/V is a four-cable system that splits the color the same way, but has the horizontal and vertical sync on a single fourth cable. Straight RGB video cables again split the color signal in three, but carry the additional sync signal on one of the color cables, usually the green (called RGB sync on green).

An RGBHV signal is the way a computer connects to a projector. Five pins on a 15-pin VGA cable are RGBHV. The monitor, projector, whatever recognizes the type of signal and projects accordingly.

RGBHV connectors are found on most high-end professional monitors, projectors and on the most popular HDTV decoder.

Hope you find out!

:D

thanks ruben.yeah i got my cable's on green sync up and they are RGBHV.the only problem im afraid of is the video card compatability.there's tons of info , that say you have to have x video card.but i have a hard time believing that .so i dont know.i think my best bet is to take it to a workshop and test it out on various stations.and luckly there is a place like that and its free:)...its just lugging that hundred pound bastard everywhere is a bitch.thanks ruben/p

just smack the side of the monitor. that usually clears up any problem.

Pille,

Heh, sorry mate.. I guess I misread your initial post (thought you were trying to hand hack the guts of your monitor into operation). My bad :) ...
