Ya, like I said, when this MB works it works great. Wish I knew whether the problem was with the MB or the display with mine. Way too convoluted (I have it split over a few posts) at this point. Still working on it. Starting to lean towards the PSU. It doesnt start reliably (have to hit the switch I put on the accessory line to get it to start when it doesnt start as it should with the car). That may be powering the display improperly. Bleh . . .whatever . . .as I said, still working on mine.

Glad that (the splitter/converter) worked out for you :-)

What screen do you have? Maybe you should consider connecting the screen directly to the 12V+ line and ground, not the PSU. All of my screens are connected this way, since i need them to start before the PC turns on. I used the Relay method to switch them on and off. All my screens have their own fuses and regulators so its safe. Maybe check if your screen has regulation.
