If you have the monitor hooked up to your PC and the PC on meaning sending a video signal down the VGA, dont touch the power on the monitor. Dont plug it in, or unplug it.

Well it is not supposed to do anything. But sometimes these cheap screens just dont like power surges. So it might do what happened to mine. Burn out a chip, and no more 800x600 resolution.

So, got my lilli 701 working on 800x480 and that damned auto adjusting button won't "f" it up anymore!

I hooked up a crt (so I could mess with settings without it going black) and fished around a bit with nvidia's config screens. I clicked "hide modes this monitor cannot display".

The only mode left was 800x480 at 75 hz.

I added a custom resolution at these settings in the nvidia config panel and..........

Success!

The only strange thing is that the Lilli OSD says it's 640x480, but everything displays as 800x480. Weird. Also, 960x800 came up as 800x600 on the osd. Weird-er.

Now I can hit that annoying little auto adjust button all I want and all it does is center the display as it's supposed to without giving the monitor an aneurysm.

I think what happens is when the monitor tries to "auto adjust" on a resolution off even a bit from what it wants, it says "I don't know what to do with this" and just sets "out of range" and a black screen. Basically, it says "I don't know what you want, do it yourself".

Get the settings right and it says "ok, I know this" and does the centering like it's supposed too.

That's it in laymans terms.

Not saying it will work for everyone, but it does for me.

Good luck all.

congrats on the success! what sort of mobo/video card are you running?

greatwhite

Mobo: dell (intel?)

Video card: Nvidia, mx440 chip. It's an older agp card I had lying around. Works fine for the car though. I'm looking to switch to a half profile dual head card.

I too faced the same problem on my lilliput today. Touched the auto adjust by mistake and now i am sitting with the "out of range" message!!
But stangely when i plug my laptop running on the 800 X 600 , it displays. Only when i plug the car pc in, it displays the "out of range" message.
Does that mean the video chip is safe? Will reinstalling the OS in my carpc solve the problem?

for what its worth, I got rid of my jetway board and went to an ibase system. I can press the auto-adjust all I want now and it seems to work fine.

I presume its because the jetway/s3 chipset isn't quite pushing out the exact refresh rate it says, and the lilli is freaking out because of it.

Hi. Same problem here with my Lilli EBY701. It worked OK for 7 months using 800x600 @ 60 Hz, and just about an hour ago I pressed the Auto Adjust button and got an awfull OUT OF RANGE sign.

These people at Lilliput don't f'in test their displays??

I tried reseting via the OSK menu, but seems it only applies to the current resolution and frequency. All the others resolutions work OK.

I'm now working at 800x600 @ 75 Hz and it looks OK, but I really need to recover the 60 Hz frequency, not to speak that I'm more scared of pressing again that button that I am of the little chinesse kid in The Grudge

I seems that the screen internally stores horiz and vert clocks set by this button and once it's configuration goes out of range it can never go back or be reseted.

Any ideas of how to reset ALL modes and frequencies at once?
Have any of you guys came out with a real solution?

Thank you!

Or does anyone know how to disable that button so if you press it nothing happens?

i have a 7" lilliput also, and my 800x600 just hit the dirt also
i think ill run the 640 resolution and just scale down road runner, that way everything is still easy to read in windows.
I read in another thread that someone had a bent pin going into their lilliput which caused this problem, that might be another point to check.

i hope this problem is solved soon, what a pain in the ***. :-/

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I have just received a reply from Lilliput on how to solve this problem. Here it goes:


This part is an EEPROM and is easy to find. I got one for about $0.50 as a spare. Now Im waiting to my 75Hz to die as my 60Hz did, and then I will find out if it works.

If anyone give this a try, please post results.

mscappa

holy **** this may just work. I was looking inside the board for an eeprom or some sort of memory jumper i could short but couldn't find one.

I have a new screen right now, but if/when it goes i'll certainly do this.

i bought eby-701
today i made everything ok.
started to setup windows, everything was so good then the screen started to blink and completely got white. resetted pc but it turned itself off and now i cant turn the lcd on.
only power led is (red) blinking. Cant do anything. i am so sad, why can it be ? i cant send it to USA for warranty from Turkey.

i am trying to turn it of standalone but no change . (while installing xp i pressed a button that wrote auto adjusting, but it was installing without a problem) can it be the sam problem ?

mscappa

i don't think its the same problem. There have been threads posted on here about the lilli's and the white screen of death. Try searching for it, I think it has to do with a loose ribbon cable inside the casing which is easy to reset.
