|
|
Hello readers,
Let's start of with a little story:
I've received my HDFury Red Edition (port3 Barco cable) just yesterday, eager to try it out with my HTPC (ATi 2400Pro) I Shut down all my machines, switch off all the power, and installed the ( Port3_Cable->HDFury(with 5Volts PSU)->5 Meters DVi Cable->HTPC (ATi 2400Pro_Dvi port) ) entire package.
After I turned everything on, the HDFury got detected right away as my main monitor, great things were happening. But after about 5 minutes into the great things, the image started to shiver REALLY HARD, my mousepointer looked like he was having a seizure as was the rest of the image. So scared as H--- I turned everything off.
After I turned the whole system back on, my image wasn't only seizure-shivery, but it came up as an newspaper on a rainy day, as shown below:
I've then turned the whole system off again, reseated all the Barco Graphics 808 cards and turned it back on. The shiver was gone for 15 seconds but quickly came back, the crooked image was still there.
The shivering and crooked image are also internal, when nothing is connected to the BG808 it gives the same problem. I've tried to delete all blocks, but nothing helps. The image stays that crooked even when I H-Phase move it or something simulair. ALL the menu-options of the Barco are working fine b.t.w.!
Info about the BG808:
Runtime: 2175 Hours
Wear Ratings: r 8.5 / b 9 / g 8.5
Can someone help me please, as I have NO idea what has been broken and certainly no idea what to do about it.
(sorry for my bad english)

At the end of your post you say the menu options are fine, do you mean you dont have a funny shape when you select the menu or test pattern?

No i mean the menu works fine, the image is still crooked though. The image gets better the more you get in the middle of it, so the menu is small enough not to be totaly crooked by the weird effect. The crooked image stays on every resolution the BG808 has for presets, as I am testing it without a source at the moment, it does the same with source, but I wanted to throw the source out of the equation of being the problem.
I talked to some guys that told me to check the menu-functions, but they all work perfectly.

I'm assuming the pic is crooked at all times then. Is the image crooked on all 3 tubes? (look in the lens with sun glasses on). If so it appears to be a horz. problem since the crooked image is there weather the signal is internal or external.

at this moment I'm not at home to check the picture. But, the picture itself moves with H-Phase etc. perfectly, the crooked lines all move with it, so that should mean its an internal fault right? It looks like I personally have made that crooked image and all moves and stretches accordinly (sorry for my english again).

It sounds like either the H output board or the SMPS is bad. I can repair those if you want to send them in.

Could you PM me the costs and procedure for this event? This could make a lot of sense, cause i THINK i heard a POP sound when using port5, and i THINK i accendently switch the H with the V input on a 5BNC-VGA cable. The source was my HTPC.
