Eygo 19" Mirror Image
« on: November 16, 2005, 06:40:55 pm »
Hi, I just started my project and purchased a 19" Eygo on Ebay.  I should have done a little more research as it seems there was a batch that had a mirror image problem.  Well, I now am the proud owner of one.  I saw some older articles on people that fixed these, but the directions were spartan.  Does anyone know how to do this, the precautions and specifics?  Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I had one of these.  If you can take apic of the pcb I can point out which plug you need to cut in half.  Then one side of it you reverse.

That would be great.  Should you post it, or do you want to email it to me?

Had? Are these no good?  I was trying to get by with this because it was a VGA monitor and I wouldn't have to do any fancy wiring.

Also, do you need to discharge it before doing this?  I have the plug that I think you are talking about disconnected from the board, but I get nervous around these things.

Thanks again.

Figured it out, thanks anyway.  If anyone else buys one of these in the future here's what I did (but I give the caveat that I am no expert or even novice when it comes to these things).  In the first picture you see 4 wires going into a plastic plug in this order (top to bottom in the pic) Green, Yellow, Blue, Red.  You need to disconnect that plug from the pcb (should just pull off, but be careful)  Then I clipped it into two sections cutting between the Yellow and Blue wires.  Then I reattached the Green and Yellow in the same way they were, but then reversed the Blue and Red.  Seems to have worked.  I'll post another pic for reference when I get a chance.  now I just have to figure out why the picture scrambles when I launch MAME.
