Anyone know anything about MPCs? No video! - NOW WITH VIDEO (still broken)

(1/4) > >>

javeryh:
The IT guy at work gave me one of the firm's MPCs - it is a computer and screen all in one.  He was going to throw it out because he could not get a video signal but that isn't exactly true when I brought it home.  When I power it up I clearly see the "Intel Inside" logo and then the Windows XP loading screen.  After that is done I hear a noise (the exact noise when the screen resolution isn't optimal or something) and the screen goes blank.  I think there is a video signal problem but I can't change any settings without the screen.  Any ideas???  This would be a free computer for me so I really want to get it working...

OK... going into the BIOS gives me the same result (no video after a few seconds).  Does anyone know how to extend the desktop in XP with just button presses (or mouse clicks)?  I have a second monitor hooked up but no picture there either (no signal).

Thanks!!

MPC went belly up awhile back so its tough to get parts for them I have four clientpro setting in the shed waiting for cabs LOL

Those all in one are basically a laptop mobo in a case might be able to find more by looking up the board model

I will talk to a fellow I know who bought ours when we upgraded he might know or maybe have one with a cracked screen you could use for parts.

He will be in next monday if you want to remind me  :D

Thanks for the info - do you happen to know if there is a video out on the motherboard (if I opened up the case)?  I don't need the monitor to work since this will be hopefully going into a cab with an arcade monitor.  I guess I want to know if I can decase everything and set it up as a regular computer going to a secondary monitor...   :cheers:

Dr Zero:
I think there is a video out on the bottom of the unit we had some set up as dual monitor units there also might be a S-video out.

I will ask of we have one open at work maybe I can get some pics for you.
