WG 25k5191 Problems (I think it's a U5000)

ZWC11:

When it comes to monitors I'm pretty much a complete noob. However for my mame project I picked up an old Blitz cabinet that has this monitor in it. I have an ArcadeVGA and really want to be able to run this in 640x480 and when I first tried it, it worked perfectly. Without knowing what I did though I messed it up. Now whenever I try to run it in 640x480 the best I can come up with when I messed with the dials is this:



This is what it looks like on my computer monitor:



Here are pictures of the 2 boards:





There's also a separate part that controls the Vhold, Hhold, width and position and other stuff.

Not sure if anyone knows how to fix this or if I can fix this, but it did work before, so there should be some way to get it to. Mainly because my Xbox has the same problem when it is hooked up and the lowest it can go is 640x480.

Kevin Mullins:

Well, that is definitely NOT a U5000 chassis.
Looks like an aftermarket Wei-Ya.

Did you or Windows happen to install any other video drivers ?
(I see ATI catalyst in the taskbar is why I asked)

ZWC11:

I looked that up and it does look like that type of board... but it says Wells Gardner on the back of the monitor.

I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling all of the drivers and I'll post what happens (although I think I remember trying this before).

MonMotha:

The monitor may have originally been a WG, but somebody replaced the boards.

This is almost definitely a driver issue, though.  It's probably outputting 31kHz progressive VGA.  I'd suggest talking to Andy.

ZWC11:

Okay, one more question... What would I need to do to get it to work with my Xbox 360? The same bar goes down the screen on my Xbox as it does on my computer.

This is my biggest concern, because if there is no way of getting this to work with it, then I'll most likely be replacing the monitor.
