EIZO flexscan 9070S Monitor Problem.

[aaronwhooley]

Hi guys,

I just got myself a multi system monitor from EIZO. The guy that sold it said he had nothing to test but it did turn on. I took the chance as it was cheap. It can do vga,cga,ega and also accepts analog rgb.

So I got it home and I noticed that the cable is 9 pin and has a 9-15 pin adaptor on the other end. I plugged it into a thrown together 386 system, set it to vga mode and it gave me this picture:

That’s its bios screen. The text would normally be in the middle. Is it missing sync? I am completely clueless on the workings of crts so I was wondering is there anyone else on here that might have an idea?


Here it is trying to display windows for workgroups 3.11 login screen.
I tried setting a jumper on the vga card (trident 9000c) to change the scan rate but seems to do nothing.

I’m at a loss at this stage

If someone has an idea, I would really appreciate it

Almost looks like its stuck in CGA mode.Are there any switches in back or is it auto sensing?

Yeah there is an option between TTL and VGA. When I select ttl it jumps and the vga/others button seems to have no effect in this case..



And yea I’ve noticed that! (The light) a bit strange..





the cable - and this adaptor is on one end of it

Also, that monitor above the power switch are 2 leds, TTL and Analog. Neither is lit up.

Upon closer inspection the light seems to work, when it’s green it’s in vga mode and when it’s yellow it’s in ttl



With the vga switch and the ttl switch respectively


I also had a look I side the adapter and there were three small capacitors (I think) in it.


Funnily enough when I put the adapter back together and when I plugged it back into the monitor, it took a good 2 minutes before anything would come back up on the screen. Maybe it’s the capacitors in the adapter?
