Title: Power to display
Post by: jstraa on September 28, 2009, 08:21:31 PM
Hi,

Somehow my power wires to the display got out of the connector I thought the red wire goes right and the
black left (viewing from behind) can anyone post a picture or confirm this? It's a CHAMII +

Thanks,

Jeroen

May I ask?
What are the round magnets for on the wires sometimes?
Especially twisted wires that have VAC running through them?
I noticed them quite often on fluorescent wiring... :129-

They are ferrite RF chokes, not magnets, and they are there to eliminate EMI/RFI so the display doesn't pick up any unwanted signals.
