Well, I’m hoping what was happening was just the HP burning of bits of styrofoam dust that may have gotten its way into the case after being packed away for so many years. After a couple of days of these occasional hiccups, the monitor appears to be running very nicely. No issues. Whew! :joyful:

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. That box took a whole lot of shaking on that truck, I suspect. Fortunately I know enough to be able to work on stuff like this, safely. I just didn’t want to have to pull the back cover off. This thing is a bit of a monster to work on! I’m using the same VGA...

Hi everybody. I recently unboxed my backup ( and last :-( ) HP A7217A as part of a move. My old one gave up the ghost just before I moved (after probably 10 years of great service), and my backup (which had been boxed up all that time but tested when I’d first gotten it) made the moving trip to...

PM sent!

I suspected, but wasn't sure. Should have bought a spare flyback when I considered it a number of years ago. Wonder how long I have before things get worse. Right now it seems to occur maybe once every week or so.

Could still use a bit of help on this. Today when I turned the display on, it started that quick thin tearing and popping sound. After about 10 minutes I got one big "snap", the screen blacked out for just a fraction of a second and then came back... apparently fine. No visible tearing now...

Hi everyone. Haven't posted in a long while, but one of my FW900s has started, infrequently, to show some very quick, momentary thin line tearing (horizontally) across the screen. When it does this I also hear a very small "pop" or "snap". What might this be?

Thanks. That was the ticket. FW900 now showing in Device manager.

I just installed the SP1 service pack to my Windows 7 machine, and then after that did the nVidia GTS250 driver upgrade. I noticed afterward that my monitor is now shown as a generic non-PnP. I can't remember, but don't we have a usable (on Win7 x64) INF file for the FW900?

Uncle Vito, what does the interface program to the spectro need to be able to do? I ask because ColorHCFR can also work with the i1Pro.

Uncle Vito, how close can one get with an i1Pro and WinDAS?

Monoprice, bettercables, or bluejeanscable.

+1 !!!

You have to be careful with old serial terminology. A device's TX and RX are with respect to itself. You would connect one device's TX to the other device's RX and vice versa.

Uncle Vito, I don't suppose you'd have a desire for us poor civilians to post a WinDAS workflow for those of us with the desire and at least reasonable equipment (a Chroma5 and/or an i1Pro) to try this ourselves on our FW900s? :)
