Title: Dead OpalVision Rev 1.0???
Post by: adz on November 16, 2003, 11:18:58 AM

Hi all

I recently picked up a OpalVision graphics card and installed it into my A2000, the system fires up fine but the display output is virtually all black, all I can make out is a few WB icons. Sorry for the scetchy description but I don't know how else to describe it. Is is likely that the card is dead? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

BTW...I'm using it through a A520 TV Modulator.

@adz:

Try to test it with an RGB-monitor and see what results you get then.

I had exactly the same (from your description) when I used an old 23 ->15 pin VGA converter about 5 years ago, then I tried a different vga monitor and all was fine.

So have a go with a different monitor if you can..
