LaCie Electron 19" CRT Monitor Logo
Anonymous Posted on Feb 25, 2010

Turns on, no video.

Turns on, recognizes input, so does the computer. No bumps or scratches visible but no video output what so ever, just a black screen as if it was dead. What to do?

    Thank you indeed. I believe this was caused by mishandling when moving addresses, there are no visible signs of damage though, and it was well packaged. Is that something so sensitive as to burst just by moving or lightly beating the monitor? It's a LaCie Electron Blue color correct monitor, it would be a shame to refurbish it.

How do you know it's recognizing the input? Black screen on a CRT monitor usually mean the horizontal output circuitry has failed impeding the flyback from producing high voltage. If this monitor is really important to you most reputable repair people still repair them. However, it may be overall cheaper in the long run to dump it and get an LCD monitor.

    It's in the realm of possiblity that even the CRT neck could have been broken. I've seen them break with very little outside influence. In fact, years ago I was Service Manager for Montgomery Wards. They had a CRT TV that the neck was so sensitive to vibration that the manufacturer had to install a special metal collar to prevent the necks from breaking while shipping to the stores. In your case it could just as easily be a broken solder tion connection that was failing all along because of high heat. It could be a simple fix, or it could be expensive. Just depends on how much you want to invest in a tube type monitor. Good luck

Tv screen turns black and red when playing through pioneer receiver

Usually when I hear of solid colors that display on a TV, my first solution would be to change the cable. We know your DVD player is working as you connected it straight to your TV and you report no problems. I assume you are using a composite cable (red, white, and yellow) Red and White being the Audio and Yellow your video.

But since your player works...and your tv works under the same input, then the only other issue would be the output cable from the receiver or the actual composite input or output connector is faulty.

try a video game system in place of the dvd player through your receiver..if it happens again, then change the receiver's output cable...if it still persists then your reciever's output connector is faulty.

I hope this helps.

Nothing happens when i connect my RGB to my TV i have pressed the button on my laptop which enables the external monitor connect but that still dosnt work.......... Also my laptop screen also turns black

The laptop screen turning black is what it's supposed to do.
Make sure your computer has the correct output, and the TV has the correct inputs. Very few laptops have analog video out (like the 3 RCA jacks, or the round S-Video jack), but some newer TVs have VGA inputs (Often blue, trapezoidal shaped plug with lots of pins).
If your TV and Laptop are compatible, make sure you've set the Input on the TV to the correct source. You will need to consult your TV manual for this.

Tv only accepts signal from the single black cable cannot get the tv to recognize the 2 audio cables and one video cable.. how do i fix this?

Hello
Your Emerson TVs audio format is not stereo; it is mono. Therefore only one audio input will be active. There is a Note give on your TVs manual. I copies it here for your information.


1. VIDEO (IN) jack- Connect to the video

output jack of a video camera or VCR.

2. AUDIO (INPUT) L/R jacks- Connect to

the left/right channel audio output jacks of

a video camera or VCR.


Note: The AUDIO (INPUT)L jack is for

mono input. The sound is heard from both

speakers. Use this jack for monaural audio
equipment to be hooked up.
OK.

How i can connect the tv as my computer moniter

Does your TV have a "VGA" input? If so, then connect the VGA-output from your computer's video-card to that VGA-input.

Does your TV have a "DVI" input? If so, then connect the DVI-output from your computer's video-card to that DVI-input.

Does your TV have a "S-Video" input? If so, then connect the S-VIdeo-output from your computer's video-card to that S-Video-input.

Note that only _SOME_ video-cards have DVI output or S-Video output. Check your video-card.

Camcorder to laptop connection w/ s-video cable

Cavie54,

Look carefully at your camcorder manual. I'm fairly sure that the the s-video is strictly an output to a TV or VCR recorder. Notice that the S-Video connector is located next to the white and yellow A/V connectors which are also output. Do you have an S-video input on your computer? That would be unusual unless you have added a TV tuner/DVR card. The only way I know of getting this camera's output onto a computer is to use an analog A/V converter which outputs on a USB port. One such box is the Pinnacle Dazzle device (just google it). It's about $40. Unfortunately the most popular Movie program is the Microsoft MoveMaker. Unless it has changed recently, it does not support USB input, only Firewire (IEEE1394). Some software I've used (maybe Roxio, maybe something with the Dazzle) can copy the USB input direct to DVD. Once it's converted you can source MusicMaker with an input DVD and then do your editing and creative stuff

Hope this helps??

Step 1
Shutdown your computer and look at the rear of the case to determine the type of video connections that your machine has. Nearly all computers will have the standard 15-pin VGA output port. In addition, you may also find that your computer has an S-video port, an RCA composite video port, a set of three component RCA video outputs or perhaps even an HDMI output port.
Step 2Determine the types of video inputs that are available on your plasma TV. There should be a standard RCA composite input, a three-jack RCA component input and an S-video input. In addition, you may also find a 15-pin VGA input, a DVI input or an HDMI input. Step 3 Select which type of connection you will use. HDMI and DVI represent the highest-quality connections, followed by VGA, Component, S-video, and composite. If your computer has only a VGA output and you will not using it solely to drive the plasma TV, you may want to invest in a video card upgrade. Most new video cards will offer dual monitor connections and possibly a separate TV connection. The first monitor connection is intended for the main computer monitor, and the second monitor connection, or the TV output, can be used for either a second monitor or a TV. Depending on the card, the TV output may be DVI, HDMI, component, S-video or composite. Step 4Purchase a video cable long enough to reach from your PC’s video output to your plasma TV. If the distance is over ten feet, you may want to invest in high-quality cables to ensure that the plasma TV receives a clean signal for the best possible picture. Cables over thirty feet in length, depending on the connection type, may result in poor video performance. Step 5Set your computer’s screen resolution to something that your plasma TV can accept, using the “Display” settings in the “Control Panel” in Windows. Refer to the owner’s manual of your plasma TV for the supported resolution and refresh rate. If you are using the S-video, composite or component outputs on your computer, this step may not be necessary. Step 6Connect your PC to your plasma TV using the appropriate cable. Start the computer up and it should recognize the attached display. In the “Display” settings, you will need to configure how the plasma TV is used if it is attached a second display. Most video cards support “Clone” or “Mirror” mode, which displays the same content on both displays. In addition, there is the “Extended” mode, where the second display will operate independently, and windows can be dragged from one screen to the other. If your plasma TV is the only monitor for the computer, you will not to configure the multiple display modes. Step 7Connect a cable from the sound output of your PC to your plasma TV using the appropriate audio adapters. Then relax on the couch and enjoy your videos on the big screen.

How to connect a eye trek fmd 200 to my laptop

It is not possible to connect your eye-trek directly to your computer.
you need a signal-converter (vga to av).
Have a look on ebay (e.g. this one on german ebay: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=380041599591
description is english).

Only the much more expensive fmd 700 has a built-in converter.

DVP642 DVD Player is only working in Audio mode

Mine does the same. Cannot get a picture using the Yellow RCA output. Use an S-video cable if you can - it should still work. If you get a black and white picture using the S-video output, go to MENU > VIDEO page and change the output from PyBywhateveritis to S-video and the color will come back. I only found out mine was broken when I needed to use the s-video cable for something else and tried switching to the Composite Video (RCA) to no avail no matter how many cables or TV inputs I tried.
