Re: Mag 2200W
The operating system has set the DVI output to a resolution not supported by the monitor. This can occur when the OS and video card can treat the two outputs as individual outputs for a dual monitor setup. One option is to shut down the computer, switch the monitor to DVI input (temprorarily disconnecting the VGA cable is not a bad idea) and restarting in VGA mode (from the boot menu accessed by hitting F8 in WinXP). Then try increasing the resolution to whatever you prefer. It's a PITA, but Windows wasn't designed to be user friendly.Originally posted by davg

Re: Mag 2200W
Thanks PlainBill very interesting. I am connected to my computer via vga and I am using the dvi to connect to my sat receiver? so how would I change the resolution in that case? I'll give your suggestion a try in the morning? Thanks. Congrats on your success and all the best on June 23Originally posted by PlainBillComment

AHHH!!! The light dawns!!Originally posted by davg
I tried something similar with a Toshibs DVD player which has an HDMI output, a HDMI to DVI adapter, and a Proview monitor that has a DVI input with HDCP. I got a similar message when I set the output resolution of the DVD player to 1080I, but it worked fine at 720P. Without knowing anything about your sat receiver, I can't hazard a guess.

Re: Mag 2200W
Thanks PlainBill as usually you know about what you speak. I am connected to a Bell 6100 IRD and menu 619 alowes me to changed the resoulation from 1080 720 or 480 and it will work on either 720 or 480. I have found that 480 gives the larges picture but still not a full screen and I have tried changing the aspect ratio but no different. I'm happy, as usually I'v learned something here again today. Thanks againOriginally posted by PlainBillComment

Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow.
But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

I *was* trying to determine the cause of a failure in a microwave oven.
The unit is a Frigidaire Gallery model CGMV175QFA.
For future reference, the exploded view for this specific model is available here.
The last page of that document also has the electrical diagram which I am attaching to this message as well.
The unit had a blown fuse when I opened it. I tested each component individually (magnetron, relays, tracsformers, etc) and all appeared to be working fine (no shorts) but the fuse kept blowing.
Eventually, I looked at the electrical diagram... -

Hello guys! I need a little help, I have one laptop for repair, it is an Aorus 17G YD, gaming laptop. Broken display, some cable ripped form daughter board connector, case broken, battery discharged and probably locked, etc. After I did the most tedious job I ever did on soldering back the broken cables (shielded cable) , I measured resistance on CPU and GPU core, 3 and 5 v ps and any coils I find on the board, everything seems to be fine. After I plugged the charger I don't get the power led light on from the charger connection maybe because the battery is locked , but on power button I have... -
Great to be here! I'm a newbie here trying to find a "micro", momentary push switch to repair a Sony "clamshell" video walkman. This micro switch has long since discontinued by Sony, however I hope there are third-party switches of the same size and functionality that I might be able to source to play the same role. The purpose of this switch is to tell the video walkman that the user has activated the mechanical tape eject button, turning that physical action into an electronic signal that tells the tape transport mechanism to open so one can load or eject a video tape. I...
