Hi everyone!! I have had this big issue twice in the last 6 months. First thing I want to show you is what I have:

The problem Im having is that suddenly the monitor does not want to display with dvi, even though the monitor is detected. So after not being able to figure out what was the problem I bought a new lcd controller. It worked fine. However, a few days ago the same thing happen to this one. Its not the monitor because if i connect it to my laptop through vga it works fine. I tried switching cables, power supply, but nothing seems to work. I not sure if the controller is being insulated right or who knows what.

Also it cant be the gpu because I have a hd radeon 5750 and a firepro v5900 and it does not display in any.

The only difference I do that the how to video does not is at 1:26, after the controller and everything is installed, I close the square cut out with the actual cut out if that makes any sense. So instead of being open its closed. Then at 1:28 I do add the foil paper. The thing Im wondering is maybe the controller is not getting insulated because I close the hole so there is no contact with the foil paper to insulate it. What im thinking is that due to this it both of the controllers may have overheated. Im not sure whats really wrong here but it is a big disappointing because I love drawing on my DIY cintiq. :( If anyone out there have any answers please help me! It would be appreciated! :)

What are you trying to do? Are you building your own monitor?

And have you tried simply using a different DVI cable?

I've never ever done that. It does sound like it could be the controller though. :mellow:
