As long as it applies to the thread... does it handle negative sync monitors?

heh heh, if you saw my garage you know the answer to that question. at last count 11 cabinets 5 pinball projects......i could use the room. although if it worked i'd bring it in the game room but ......

correct, but it's not totally dead. when powered up, the top monitor does show the instructions although the picture is a bit squashed, while the bottom monitor is pretty much blank. i don't think there is any sound either. i guess i can't complain tho, the price was right.

i haven't touched it since i brought it home so things might be worse now. i was planning on checking power and swapping the monitor connectors today to try and narrow the problem down a bit. it did come with an extra boardset so i'm hoping that power and pcb will be fine. then i can move on to the monitors.

I know.  I'm just giving you crap for even considering it.  :D

Actually, that was directed @ Chad.

As for why it may not work, try capping both monitors.  They're both Sanyos, right?  Notorious for that problem.
