Title: Bally Alpha 1 V32 Ceronix 32 inch monitor issue on bootup
Post by: Nuwavusa on November 28, 2017, 05:28:29 PM

Hi,
The issue I'm having is that it shows the POST screen on boot-up, but when it switches over to the compact flash card to load the
Linux operating system the screen goes blank. The screen will reappear it 3-5 minutes once the game loads. Once loaded looks
and plays perfect. This is very annoying when your trying to change games and need to see the clear screen?

I connected the Video card output to a TV with VGA input and it works fine. It showed the resolutions as they changed
from POST, boot-up, to game?

POST: 640x480

Boot-up: 720x400

Game Loaded: 1360x768 (Cash Spin)


New video card installed. Same issue. Its in the Ceronix 32 inch 3205-LCD. I believe its a setting or the video input controller
box that mounts to the back of the monitor is bad.

Has anybody else seen this issue and fix?

Thanks

I had a weird issue like that on a gamemaker.  What OS version are you using?

You have the "good" OS.  Try a different video cable, otherwise I would say you are having cap issues on your A/D board.

of the 32” LCD?

Update... I replaced the VGA cable. No luck. I have contacted Ceronix in hopes they will replace the A/D board on the LCD.

ty for your help

Update #2. Confirmed by Ceronix  they had an issue with the older 32" LCD (3205-LCD) A/D board where it want auto switch
to the correct boot up resolution. I was 3 months out of the 4 year warranty. Part # CPM3044

Has anyone repaired these A/D boards and know what goes out on them?

Thanks
