My Xenarc is BROKEN!! (i think)

Zion800 · 08-21-2004, 03:21 PM

Well, im installing my PC in my car and that all works fine. I have a Xenarc 700TS and it was working flawlessly. I took it out of the case, and when i was ready to go install it, i tested it just to make sure it still worked. For some reason, the Portable Display screen comes up, then goes into standby mode after a few seconds as if there is no signal from the computer. I'm not sure what the problem could be! Any help is much appreciated! :-)

Thanks,
Michael

Try reseating the ribbon cables and make sure they are plugged into the right place.

It could not be broken unless you dropped or fryed it

I don't know much about those displays but if the ribbon cables are the type which look like circuits glued onto a piece of over head transparency sheets then you may have broken the circuits as they are very fragile!

Are you sure you haven't broke any of the VGA cables going to the screens mainbaord?

Thanks for all the quick replies. I just looked really closely at the board, and the small board with the actual monitor connector on it looks like its fried! One of the lines is busted going from the monitor connector to the solder points. Any way I can fix it or get a new board? :-/
