sick of the blue screen!

When my pc boots, my lilliput eby701 turns blue to black, back and forth, multiple times and I can't stand it. Is there ANYTHING I can do to fix this or at least reduce the number of times it switches back and forth?

Never heard of that problem before, my guess is cable is loose.

The 629 does the same too, but only once. I think it has to do that the screen gets power before the VGA signal is sent to the screen.

So if the screen sees a vga signal first, it won't turn blue? I'll try that...

So you only see black/blue on the screen? Nothign else?

i guess the cheap method would be to turn off your screen manually and turn it on once the computer has booted. the automatic, more expensive method would be probably to connect a time delay relay to the 12V+ input that goes to the screen. a quick search yeilded this: Amazon Relay

you can program it to delay current i believe from 15 seconds to 4 minutes. i bought a different one locally i beleive for like 15 dollars and i connected it to a light in my shed i would always leave on and i set it to turn off 20 minutes after the initial current. i also have an override just in case i'm going to be in there longer.
