Need Help on BB1 Touchscreen

[coolwavepic]

From your picture it seems your screen is full. Why is it not auto sync to fill the screen? The black bar on the right side. Center your picture. Does that help?

My monitor is Kristel LCD18-009, the unit is a BBU converted to BB1.  I checked the wiring and they work fine, so the issue is definitely the monitor.  Power to the monitor still works as the fan turns on, but the screen remains off.  Any way of fixing this, has anyone tried opening it up?  I plug in an ordinary computer monitor just to test and it works fine. 

I'm also wondering if I can attached a mouse for now to set up the game, then find a monitor replacement within budget.

Not sure about the mouse, but it's worth a try.

The monitor receives power. What color is the LED? When you disconnect the source does the monitor show 'No Signal'? Is there any backlight at all or completely black?

If it has any light at all check a/d board. Black screen check inverter.

If both look good... no burst caps, no burnt or disconnected wiring, but you still have a completely black monitor then it may be the CCFLs are shot.
(You can replace the CCFLs with LEDs fairly cheaply... though it is moderately invasive/time consuming.)

zoinks, thanks.


i decided fool around with the monitor by taking it apart, found some kind of magnetic piece that looks like the size of a thimble that broke in half.  I decided to replace the monitor instead.
