Virtual Pinball Monitor Boot Up Question
« on: February 01, 2025, 08:10:44 AM »
I moved my virtual pinball machine and in the process took off the back box and disconnected the main monitor and the bitmpa or dot matrix whatever you call it below.   After not powering it back up for a few weeks I plugged it in and the top monitor comes on very faded, and the dot matrix not al all.  They are labeled and I took pictures when I removed, So I know that they are put in correctly, but every time I pull lout the top the dot matrix comes on with a good color screen.  I've tried plugging just one in and can't get the top to be it's full color without the bottom being unplugged, or it comes on in good color and the bottom one won't come on for games that need the digital scoring?  I'm sure it's a boot setup thing but really need some help. Thanks very much ahead of time for any help!

try a different backbox monitor.  pics may help...

nothing in the PC is going to give you a "faded" image. hook up a HDMI laptop to that screen to test it independantly.

I bought new cables also, so I'm going to try them today.  Thanks very much for the idea
