Title: Scan Magic will not display BLUE?!
Post by: MaDDuck on February 04, 2004, 11:12:11 PM

HEY!!

I tried it in both an Amiga 1200 and an Amiga 4000 and same thing- no blue.

Other than that, it works beautifully! Sharp flicker free picture, just no BLUE!!

Any suggestions other than-
1. get a REAL graphics card
2. get a new scan magic
3. interlace flicker is your friend, learn to love it!

BTW, this is the internal model bought back in 1999!

are you using the correct ribbon cable to the external output?

The ribbon cable should have 2 of the small wires at one end of the cable twisted.

Good question!
YES I am.
I'm using the same cable that it came with and it is plugged in correctly and securely!

I'm just wondering... "no blue"? What's supposed to turn blue?

Ok Hotrod.....

Color is made up by mixing PRIMARY colors RED, BLUE and GREEN!

My FF will not display any BLUE, so therefore all color on the screen lacks BLUE

You checket the cables on the scanmagic? Maybe a bad connection?

All cables, once again are correct  and plugged in, otherwise it would probably fry something out!

The blue just blew!

I arranged a trade to swap an old 1200 accelerator for a new one

Anybody want the old one???
