... for a (possibly) defective EXT-FULLHD to damage the inputs on a Zenith PRO1200x??

Everything was working fine and dandy (using an older Lumagen Vision) with my system, until I got my "upgraded" EXT back, tried to put it in the system with a HD satellite receiver, then I couldn't get any image beyond 480i. Now, having removed the EXT and the satellite receiver from my system, and going back to my previous configuration, I can't get a video signal to my projector. I've also tried bypassing the scaler, and simply using a S-Video cable from the DVD player to my projector, and it still shows me "no video source" on the screen.

Doubtful.


Did you select the right input on the remote to switch to the S-video input? It doesn't do it automatically. "5" on the remote is the R/G/B/H/V input. It's either 1, 2, or 3 for S-video I think.

Do the internal projector menus work?

Kal's right, very doubtful. I have had static electricity damage the input selector board, but that's usually only on the older Barco 800s.

Since you're relatively close, I could do a service call, or we can diagnose here and swap boards via mail. I've got everything in stock for the 1200.

Good morning, fellas!!

OK... I get to go sit in the corner with a BIG dunce-cap on, today!! I must have bumped the Zenith remote (which I RARELY ever touch, except for turning the unit on/off occasionally, and touching up convergence), and inadvertently switched the inputs. Boy, do I feel like a first-class JACKASS. Here I was, panicking about my 1200, and it was my own stupidity. OK...I feel better about the projector, now.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys!! And, it's comforting to know that you're so close by, Curt! BTW... can you PM me what it would cost for one (or two) of those COG boards for the 1200? I'm eye-balling another 1200 for a possible stack, down the road...

HEE-hawwwww!!!!!!!





On edit: My apologies to Moome for implying that his product may have caused damage to my equipment. I am impressed with the quality of his adapter, and very impressed with the level of service he provides!!
