Hi there mate i have been trying to power my 8"LCD of the P4 power cable of my m2-atx but i have had a very strange issue.

My car PC st up is

Jetway Via C7 2Ghz processor with a sata laptop hard drive n a pci usb card so i think i sould have more than enought power left to power the LCD.

I connected everthing up it seem to work fine i can enter the bios but as soon as it gose past saying windows XP is loading i get no display it keeps saying no VGA display. So i hooked up the LCD using an extention from a home power socket and used the LCD,s standard home plug power cable and run the lcd just to see if it worked an it works fine but as soon as i connect it to any of the molex power sourcers of the M2-ATX i get the issue where it says no VGA signle after it gose past the windows XP loading screen. Could it be that my inline fuse rating is too low as i used a 15amp blade fuse between the + 12v power line from the car to the M2-ATX, please i need some help would be very much appreciated as i am totally confused

Use the yellow & black wires from a HDD power connector.
Yellow = 12v
Black = Ground

tried that same problem, i also tried connecting everthing up to an desktop atx power supply and tried running the LCD of the hdd and p4 power cables of the desktop atx power supply and still get the same issue. So the LCD will not work unless it is plugged on its own for some reason
