Weird Lilliput eby-701 problem! Help!

maniaxzero · 05-19-2007, 08:38 PM

Ok. So i had this Lilliput lcd touchscreen for about a month. I set up the carpc in the house all this time. The Lilliput worked perfect never really had any problems. Now today, I installed the carpc in my car and I have +12 and ground wire coming off a molex connector from the m2atx to power my Lilliput. Everything is working well. The screen turns on, I see the bios, then the windows xp loading screen, then usually it would switch to the welcome screen but instead the Lilliput just blanks out and said it's not receiving any input. I tried restarting the carpc many times. Same thing every time. I see the bios, then the windows startup, then boom No input!

This leads me to believe it's something to do with the drivers. It's strange because it worked just fine in the house and when its in the car , it shows the bios and startup screen just fine so it cant be the powering.

Anyone had this problem before? This is driving me nuts.

Any help is appreciated. TIA

yup. One of my first threads.

Hook up a regular monitor to your computer and change the output resolution to something other than what it is at now.

Probably 800x600 right? Change to 640x480 or 1024x768 and that should fix it.

It drove me crazy for a while.

I will find my thread and post a link. Man that sucks. Although in a slight way I am happier that I am not the only one.

Toaster is right one the money. Same problem with my eby 701 whe I got it. But I would hit the auto adjust button by mistake and it went ot some weird resolution.
Hooked up the CRT, changed it back, problem solved.
Mine works fine on 800x600 though......

Cheers

thanks for the advice guys, i will give it a try tomorrow. It's cold and rainy outside, I dont wanna go out at this time.

Update: I brought the computer inside and hooked it up to a VGA monitor. Still have the same problem. BIOS shows. Windows Boot Screen shows. Then when it switch screens, it gets NO SIGNAL!

If i cant even get windows to display on a vga. How can i change the resolution?

Let me be the first to say... F8 boot in VGA mode?

Thats right.. hehe
Before the XP splash screen boots, Press the F8 key repeatedly until the xp boot menu shows, then goto Enable VGA Mode to boot to 640x480 resolution.

tried it many times. It just ignores the F8 key presses and continues to boot windows normally.

ok nvm. It was my wireless keyboard's problem. I plugged a regular ps2 keyboard in and pressed F8. Went into safe mode. Removed old intel graphic card drivers. Restarted. Re-Installed intel video drivers. Set resolution to 800x600. Rebooted. Seems to be working good so far. I hope this problem dont come back. BTW, i really appreciate all the help guys

Sounds like a ribbon cable is loose. Specifically the button panel's. You open it up at all?

nickelaj · 12-06-2007, 05:14 AM

no i didnt open. today tried again but nothing
only power led red blinking

2k1Toaster · 12-06-2007, 05:19 AM

Well if you arent sending it in for warranty, then open it up. Once you do, you cannot send it in, so make sure you don't/can't first.

Then check your ribbon cables. The big VGA signal ribbon as well as the smaller front panel ribbon.
