i've put my main monitor (samsung syncmaster 900p) on the dvi port via dvi to agp adapter and it will not show up. the psone lcd will work on the agp but not dvi. tried extending the desktop to the second monitor when the lcd is plugged into the dvi but when i hit apply the box becomes unchecked.
anyone else have a problem getting 2 monitors working on a 9x00. powerstrip 3.5 is installed but when i go into it it will only see the one monitor. tried re-booting but no go.
do i have to use multimon to get two monitors to work?
So hi at first :D
I have a quaestion i cant find this display in Germany so where could i find it ? And how much does it cost ? can some one buy it 4 me ? and send it 2 me ? i mean would some one do it 4 me this is my last chance to get one

sorry 4 my bad english
z3ro...I would just pick one up on eBay. Many sellers tend to ship internationally, or if that doesn't suit you, you can check the eBay Germany website. I've checked and at the moment, you can pick one up for about 70 euros. Also, check the other international eBay websites. Hope this helps you out! Rock on!

ok, so far i have wired her up got both cards running and installed pci is prime in bios and agp is pri in windows both cards are displaying when i switch my main monitor between em.
ok, so the problem is no power to the lcd it just dont fire up, i have tryed both incar method and ac adaptor. is there a way of testing if ive blown it up?
(never had it running yet) thought it might be that ive put the small cables back onto the pcb wrong ( the 2 clip in clusters ) but even switching them over i get nothing .
BTW i wired it straight to the card as i couldnt get the connector with all the pins in :'( (VGA method)
presuming that i did it right pin 1 is holding the card up so the connectors are at the top, the bottom right pin ?(on the pcb not the connector)
Isn't there a non-soldering solution to this as well? I followed the trace from the header (green circle) that was used for the soldering mod over to the pins that connect to the wires that lead back up to the LCD (blue circle--you can't actually see them because the previous red square covers them up, but they're just to the right on the board). Couldn't you just splice the wires directly from your VGA cable to the wires that lead up to the LCD based on this:

Do you HAVE to solder onto the header??? Is that circuit doing anything???
The answer is no...you do not have to solder directly onto the VGA header. My suggestion would be to make your own VGA cable out of a male connector, some Cat5 cable, because if you cut an existing VGA cable open, how are you going to know which wires go to which pins? Cat5 has 8 individually colored wires, and that way you can guarantee yourself a match-up with the pins on the PCB and the pins on the male connector.
Have fun and Rock on!
Edit: I just reread your post, and I misunderstood your question the first time. In theory, your idea should work. My suggestion would be to try it out. Don't forget though, that it will be a bitch if you can't get the right wires connected, or if you need to put the wires back into the header for some reason. If you solder, you can just desolder what you've done. Peace out.
i have tested my lcd and it does work ive soldered the psx pins in and soldered the vga so soldered joints both ends no external wires:)
ok still have that power prob although i know it works on a psone i get no signal i presume its the +5v (pin 9 psx pin 10 vga) but cant see why it wont power up ive buzzed the pins out end to end all matches up so im realy stumped! (this is a PAL lcd)
BTW if u wanted to try soldering to the graphics card a way to see what pin is what is use one of the lcds speakers a 9v batt and a few bits of wire and make a home grown buzzer so a pin goes 1 side into the connector thats attatched to a wire and to a battery terminal other terminal has a wire to the speaker and then wire to a pin which when you touch the right contact will make a clicking sound!!!.
however i still have my problem it wont switch on!!!
Hmm...I'm stumped, too, Karrektor. I would just check out the bit-tech guide on how to do it, because it's for PAL LCD screens. Mine is an NTSC screen, so I'm not too familiar with pin 9 on the PSone PCB. You may want to try asking the author of the guide, though I'm sure that there have been many similar, if not exactly the same, question as your own. Sorry that I can't help too much here, but like I said, I'm not familiar with the "pin 9" problem.

Yeah, I think I'll try this option since my soldering skills suck and the area that is being soldered is pretty small. I'll just be sure to label all the wires in case I have to splice them back together...
I have seen someone talking about it inhere, but im afraid of screwing it up by misunderstanding something, so that Soldering for dummies would help me a lot! :)
I thank the one, who takes the time to paint it! ;)

Well, I can provide partial confirmation that splicing directly into the wiring as I diagramed works--meaning that I can see the boot portion when it's in VGA mode. I'm still waiting on my Matrox Mystique card from eBay to show up so I can start messing around with PowerStrip and figure out the timing. But so far so good!
OK, got my Matrox Millenium card from eBay today. Installed and hooked up and I'm almost there! I've been messing around with the powerstrip settings, but am running into a problem. I can't seem to get the Pixel clock to go below 30! I've gone in Custom Resolution and selected 640x480i (Arcade) and on that screen it says the Pixel Clock is at 13.582, but after I select Add New Resolution and it goes back to the Advance Timing Page, the Pixel is at 30.067 and I can't adjust it lower. Any ideas? Here are my other timings:
Hello,
This is my first post on the bit-tech forums, i have been following these psone threads here and other places for a little while and now have my screen purchased from someone on these forums,
Just a few things that do not seem to add up with what other people have done/said.
first off im useing a PAL screen so the screen res should be 720 X something max correct? while i have been messing with mine and it is currently running at 1024 X 768 at 32 bit colour, if displaying text you need a big font (about 20 or more) for quick glance stuff but running music videos on it they look much better.
also i am currently useing the svideo option, an adaptor out of my graphics card the a normal stero 3.5mm to RCA from the lcd to the adaptor, seems to be working fine although i am going to go the VGA route in the end,
the screen is going to be mounted outside of my case so it is staying on its own power block.
is anyone useing the svideo option useing powerstrip or is it even needed for svideo? it caused me no end of problems, it is currently installed and running so a bit nervous of removeing it after the problems i had incase it needs to stay,
but i would recommend to anyone useing dual display, whether its one of these screens or 2 noraml crt/tft screens, got your self a copy of Ultramon,
has been more use to me than anything else i have tryed, allows completly different settings for each monitor, res, refresh, screensaver, wallpaer, and adds boxes to all windows to stretch across both displays or switch it from one display to another.

Ok i got a big problem now, dont know if this is the best place to post but as it was trying to set this screen up that has caused the problems its worth a go.
when i boot it goes past the xp splash screen and my main monitor plugged into the VGA port goes to sleep, the only way i can boot into windows with it on is by pressing f8 and picking 'enable VGA' and i have never seen that option in the f8 menu before.
i have removed the LCD as got cable problems, uninstalled powerstrip and ultramon for a min and put all the windows settings back to single monitor stuff but it still refuses to kepp the monitor awake unless i go in with the enable VGA option.
Any one got any ideas on what may be causeing this, as in theois mode i can not do anything to fix the cable problems with the LCD,
Thanks
Keith
Well, I finally got the chance to wire my screen to a VGA connector. Being an NTSC model, I only used the Red, Green, Blue, Video Ground, and S-Video Y (all the same connections as the article says, aside from the +5v/DCC one that seems to only be needed on PAL models).
I plugged it into the DVI->VGA connector on my 9800 Pro and its a no go. I believe someone else was having the same issue. When you tell XP to enable the second monitor, it tries and then sets it back to disabled. When I tell PowerStrip or UltraMon to enable the secondary display, they do the same thing or nothing, leaving my PSOne LCD screen to be blank and disabled.
Has anyone found a fix for this? Am I basically stuck with needing a 2nd video card with the C-Sync ability?
I was actually hoping I could use this off my laptop since it has VGA and DVI ports, but it doesn't seem to work on that either (9700 mobile).
Well, my PSOne LCD screen does work. I plugged it into the VGA connector on my 9800 Pro and booted it as the only display. I could make out the BIOS screen and Windows XP loading screen. When it got to the login screen, it was visible, but it was rolling down the screen.
So I know the screen works, but I guess I'll need to buy a cheap video card to run the screen.
I am haveing the same problems now CooLJoE, with windows not setting it up as 2nd monitor.
the original cable i was using wasnt the correct type, so our sparky in work gave me the correct type of 3.5mm jack which i put on the cable and now i cant get it recognised.
i got to the point before were everything was so stuffe up my main moniotr would not work, a new driver install solved that but not the LCD.
our sparky told me that with the original jack i was useing i was VERY lucky i ever got it working even though it was running for several hours it was just luck it was making the correct contacts.
over the weekend i may have a go with some cat5 cable onto the main header and connect directly to an old matrox millenium pci card i have and see if that will work.
i know everyone is on about the Mystique cards but i guess the millenium will have c sync also.
also interested in anyone elses view about the res i was getting,
ultramon was allowing me to set the res on the LCD when it was working to 1024 X 768, the same as my main monitor, i actually watch the picture change as i changed the res, i then needed to adjust the pic size to fill the screen, and all my samurize text needed to be about font size 20 to make it readable but the picture was so much clearer than when on 640 X 480, and video looked great, all this just running from video out on the card to the 3.5mm avi in on the LCD.
Keith
The cable I used doesn't look a lot like yours. Mine has the yellow, red and white connectors on one end, and on the other end has a connector that looks like a headphone jack. It plugs into the jack on the back of the LCD (I can't remember the color, but if I remember right it's right beside the headphone jack). No soldering required, no messing around with Powerstrip and no need for a second video card (just use TV Out on your primary card).
I'd take pictures of my AC adapter mod and the AV cable, but I spent quite a while hiding the wiring and I don't want to undo that. Here's a pic I found on Amazon of the cable I have:
ok got cable hooked up to primary card and all pluged in only one problem how do i get the lcd to switch on the backlight dosent come on so im guessing theres a signal missing can you elaborate on how ya powered it mega?
The backlight should come on automatically. I plugged mine into my car cigarette lighter with the car adapter and the screen and backlight both came on. That was with nothing plugged into the video portion of the LCD.
I wonder if connecting the +5v/DCC will change things and allow it to work as a secondary monitor. By this I mean run the wire, colored yellow on the diagrams, that is meant as +5v/DCC to pin 9 on the VGA connector (which I think is the correct pin on the VGA connector).
I mean, I just don't see a reason why the screen shouldn't work as a 2nd display. I'll have to try it out tomorrow.

all settings i have tryed havent worked wondered if i was getting interference from somthing
