    Powerstrip Timings..........

    Right guys,
    Although no one replied apart from bEE2643 directly. I have now got the LCD hooked up to a VOODOO BANSHEE card. Soldered directly to the pins with the 5v feed from my ASUS FX5200 pin 9 on the 2nd DVI port. Got the screen lit up and displaying but now got the timing issuses. :wallbash:

    Can anyone out there give some better timings with POWERSTRIP. Been tinkering withit for two days solid......and my eyes are begining to hurt. :eeek:

    Noticed the INTERLACED is greyed out, could this be a problem? :confused:

    BTW this is a UK PAL PSONE LCD Screen.

    using a uk pal LCD.

    i have it all soldered up etc apart from DCC as my cable didnt have that pin. the screen is backlit fine and if i dont have the vga plugged into my secondry output, i get noise on the picture so i know it works fine.

    The problem is, my graphics card (x800 pro) isnt detecting a secondry monitor attatched? can anyone tell me why or what i need to do to make it detect it. Or is there anyway to force output regardless of it detecting a monitor?

    also on powerstrip, the advanced timings options box is greyd out? using the omega 2.5.67 drivers

    I've got now a vga cable striped. But the colours are different from the tutorial.

    Does someone know more about these colours?

    Don't know about the colors, but your best bet is to get yourself a cheap multimeter (should be available at most electronic shops or car stores for pretty cheap) and check the pin assignment. Hold one end against pin 1 and then touch the other end to the different colored cables until it lights up. Repeat this for the all the rest of the pins and then you'll know all the pin assignments for that particular cable.

    It can be a pain, but it really doesn't take the much time.

    (Wow, Zain2k got banned after 6 days, 17 posts! Must be a record.)

    You know, somewhere an entrepeneureal company should just make a 5" LCD sceen specifically for PC modding. Ready-to-fit Molex, VGA connection, drivers, installation bits and guide, the works. We have dedicated LCD panels, now let's go a step further! :thumb:

    Lol, where would the fun be in that!^^ This seperates the n00bs from the true modders :dremel: Personally I don't like the ps one lcd, over priced and too much pcb, only allows so many mods with all that extra board, but is a great mod none the less, insprired me to spend $100 on a little 5" lcd ;) GW!

    We all start somewhere, i'd like a ready made colour lcd at the psone lcd price though :thumb:

    The mod is easy to do, just took me ages to get the casing off properly.

    Yeah thats true, they are highly overpriced, well I guess its not bad price compared to those little text lcds that cost the same price, but I found somewhere a 5.4" lcd for $85 somewhere, but I can't remember where???
    :waah: Well if I get my lcd screen working (got one for $7 but has burnt out transistor) I can finally do my mod, one bay lcd mod automated by cdrom drive. Now to fix it is the tricky part... :wallbash:

    I would say composite (RCA), but thats not the best quility, but you could probly mod it to vga, but would be tricky since there is no guide for that type. If you get it I would just take the RCA roue if its not a big deal, also if you don't have RCA jack on your video card (or s-video) then you could buy a cheap video card for like $30 for it.

    Black Borders & RADEON c-sync?

    Hi Guys,
    Got my Matrox Mystique in and running the PSONE LCD, only problem is that I cannot get the image display to fill the screen. WHY? :wallbash: I have the c-sync on and fiddled with settings til my eyes fell out.. :eeek: I get nice colours and a reasonably crisp pic, but there is a deffinate 5mm - 8mm thick black strip along the top and bottom. :waah: PLEASE HELP! :confused:

    Also, does anyone know if the ATI RADEON 7000 support c-sync? Anyone got the LCD screen running on one successfully?

    BTW, a PCI slot power adaptor from www.maplin.co.uk powers the PSONE LCD nicely. :thumb:
