I bought a used 7" Lilliput touchscreen monitor. I cant find a model number to post. It has all the buttons along the buttom of the bezel.
Anyways, When the computer starts up there is a Jurrasic Park screen/picture displayed for a short time. Its allmost like a bios screen for the monitor or something.
Is there anyway to remove this? My mb bios and computer never has had any Jurrasic park stuff on it so it has to be comming from the monitor.

Ummm, I have never heard of a Lilliput displaying a slpash image. Are you sure its not a fake Lilliput? Post Pictures of it.

Sounds as if you got one of the older lilli's where they used a image to "burn in" the screen.

Actually, there have been two theories as to the jurassic park logo being displayed:

1. Burn in testing as listed above

2. Older lilli's (and sometimes xenarc) screens where made wih used LCD panels sourced from commercial units ranging from game console to something called a "panchiko" game.

I've seen the jurassic logo a couple times before on a couple of the older moitors I've had. If you do a search, you'll find a couple threads with the same issue.

Basically, there's nothing you can do about it as it's "burned" into the lcd...............

*edit*

Yup, here we go:

It just goes on forever my friend................note that this is for old screens, not the newer ones. Appears they learned thier lesson................

Good discussion on pachinko machines and the recycling of the lcd's:

Im not sure how to post pics. If its a fake they did a real good job.

I figured it maybe something I cant get rid of. Oh well. I got it real cheap and it works so it will do for awhile. I got everrything working now on my carpc just need to build a case, install my amp and buy new bezel for dash. Still going to be awhile till I get it all in the truck

HiJackZX1

I hear you on that one.... I put my Car PC in some time last year, then took it out because I half a$$ed most of it. Now with me being so picky, i'm going on month 8 with the build.

Yep. Im taking my sweet time. Also funds are making me take my sweet time I could go cheap way and make a mount for the monitor, but, the factory nav bezel would be alot better....wish it wasnt $190 though. Thats whats going to prolong this the most. Should be another month or so then I can put it in. I could remove my head unit and put monitor there, but I really want to use the FM from the head unit instead from carpc

Still like your avatar

HiJackZX1

HAHAHAHA, Im actually working on a new Avatar, which is the icon that will go on my truck. Instead of using the headunit for FM, why not go with a HD Visteon radio that interfaces with the PC. Its so much better, and is not cr@ppy like the USB radios.

Im not sure if that would be a good fm radio solution. Do you have or know anyone with that and how they tie it in with there pc? If I could find an easy fm radio to add to the pc that was reliable and great reception, I would mount the LCD where the factory radio and cd changer is.

ps......dont change your avatar

HiJackZX1

Here, follow this link. http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/user...les-ready.html, has all the info you need. 97% of people love this solution, it works in digital and analog mode making it the ultimate carpc solution, nothing comes close. It is 100% intergrated into the PC via a serial cable. Just check out the link, it has all the info.

looks good. Another $100 + ..it never ends Im not sure what FE i will be going with or if Im even going to go with a FE. Wonder how that works in Win XP without a front end

greatwhite

Nah, you can snag one off ebay for around 40 bucks, mithc's cable for 25 if I remmeber and you're good to go.

You just have to be patient and watch ebay for a while.

Cheers

Greatwhite ... Do you know if you have to use a supported FE or will it work with Xp by itself? Im geussing it wont becouse it would need some sort of installable software.

HiJackZX1

Yea, what Greatwhite said.... only about $70.00 to $80.00. Mitch provides you with a program to use it in Windows without a frontend. Centrafuse has HD support coming in update 1.48, and Mitch also has a RR plug-in.

RR supports it, appaarently Cf does by 'jack's post.

It wil also work stand alone in Xp with Mitch's software (PCR) available on his site (www.rush2112.net).

Cheers
