Title: Aristocrate Viridian 19" No Video
Post by: Chartrm on September 17, 2013, 10:14:11 AM
No video on both screens, I changed my video card, bios etc ... Several boards with the same problem. Does anyone know the problem because each main board costs $ 1,000 more.

Thanks

 :52- had the same problem and ended up having to replace the main board and psu. I can fix psu but unfortunately to the main board.

Multiple problems....suspect PSU.....
First test PSU in action/under load.....(primary cause of system failures)
Test voltage at the monitor...they are hungry critters...typically 12 volts at 3 or 4 amps...
Test monitor..feed it video from a PC all have a 15 pin connector..some have a HD connector..a few have both....
Look for a setup or menu button on the back of the monitor....generates video internally..good for testing it....
Power tests good? Monitor works with a PC??? Now your ready to tackle the MPU board.......
WITH THE POWER OFF AND UNPLUGGED........
Reseat the MPU/Memory and any other removable assemblies....
Remove and reconnect ALL cabling/connectors...look for bent pins. BE GENTLE!
Tighten hardware carefully....no torque wrench needed..finger tight only.....
If all this fails..you may indeed have a serious MPU problem.....
