Rotating monitor construction *Project finished*
DaOld Man:
wow, thats great information!
I tried the OSD menu already, I cant get it to do much through that.
I got to get me one of those chips now and build the Rs-232 interface.
I will let you know how this turns out.
Thanks!!!!!

I have a similar monitor that has Sony parts inside (HP 1130). When I decased it I noticed the 4 pin connector and wondered what it did.

DaOld Man:
I downloaded windas and all the support dll files.
(get ready to spend some time on this if you decide to do it.)
Google windas and you should find loads of info on how to do this.
I already had an RS232 to TTL interface that I made to program my nutchip.
But the windas program keeps giving me ECS errors, which I have gathered from the websites that this means something wrong with the interface.
So I just ordered a proper kit from here:
Clicky
If I can fix this monitor with the 10 dollar kit, it will be well worth it.
I will let you know how this turns out.
DaOld Man:
The windas program worked! Thanks richms for that helpful info on the windas utility.
The monitor looks great now. I had to take the G2 value from 98 to 83.
Im still playing around with the settings, but now I have a black background in GLaunch, whereas it was blue. The lines are gone now too.
The interface kit is pretty simple to put together, took me about 15-20 minutes.
Im going to put the monitor through some rigid tests before I commit it to my project.
Next up on this project:
Cut out the discs that the monitor will fasten to.
Cornchip:
I'd imagine quite a few of the rebaged 'Sony' monitors have gone to the dump needing nothing more than this fix. You're lucky that richms happened to recognize the problem. Hope it's going fine from here.
