Thread: HELP! - Lilliput Problem, Black Screen, No Picture

I'm trying to build my first carpc. I got my mp3car.com order in the other day with my M2-ATX, Slot-load dvd-rw case for it, and my Lilliput 889GL. Today I started testing the stuff. The DVD-rw works nicely, I haven't had a chance to test the PSU yet and the Lilliput was working great, but now it's not. I'm going to try to be as detailed as I can, maybe It's dead, hopefully not, but here's what happened.

I set up the Lilliput on the 2nd VGA plug on my desktop (nVidia 7600gs) and tried a couple of settings, all of which worked. The setting I left it on was dual-display (not clone) with the 2nd display, the lilliput, on 800x600x32 @ 60hz Working fine. So I tested some movies, setup and tested the touchscreen, took some picts to send my friends, then started to do some other tasks on my computer and, as I often do with dual displays, setup vlc playing a video on the 2nd display while I did my other tasks on the 19" disp and watched Star Trek out of the corner of my eye on the Lilliput. So far so good. Then all of a sudden about halfway through my episode the lilliput flickered bright for a millisecond. I didn't think much of it because I thought maybe it was caused by how much stuff I had the computer doing, maybe it was software. A few seconds later it does it again. I stop what I'm doing on disp1 to watch the Lilliput, leaving the episode running. Then it decides to flicker again and go almost white, with a bit of a pinkish hew. Ok? Then I notice the led in the bottom right corner is orange (not red or green or whatever it was before) so I unplug it, then plug it back in...... nothing. Power button? Nothing never made the standard noise when you plug in a usb device either. Oh crap. "Ok don't panic..." So after searching through the forums here I tried different resolutions, refresh rates, etc to no avail. I also tried taking it out to the car to try the 12v car adapter that came with it and had the same problem. Also tried using the RCA inputs and same problem. Basically, whatever I do here's how it responds:

Plug in VGA first, then power:
Usb Dev attached noise on pc, red led on monitor blinks aprox 3times/sec. No pict, no backlight, just black, screen off. However, I do get communication from the touchscreen. I can move the mouse, etc. Unplugging the VGA or changing display resolutions or refresh rates has no effect. Power or any other button does not seem to do anything, blue lights under power button never come on.

Plug in Power first, no VGA:
USB dev. attached noise on pc, red led glows solid, screen flashes white for about a millisecond, then goes to the same 'no backlight black' and then makes USB dev disconnected noise. Still only red led, solid. Plugging and Unplugging the VGA has no effect. Now if I try to press the power button (even the one on the remote), the blue leds light up the buttons, just like they should if the monitor was on, but... no change in picture. and still no communication with the touchscreen, and still no response from VGA plug/unplug/resolution/refresh rate changes or RCA input. But if I press power again to turn it off, No response. The blue leds behind the buttons say lit and absolutely nothing changes. The menu, or any other button, produces no change in any way. The only way to turn it 'off' is to pull the power.

So any Ideas? Or is it just dead?
