Title: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 16, 2008, 01:43:34 pm: Hey, I finally got a picture on my Arcade Monitor, but it seems to be mirroring itself. I am using nVidia's control panel and it seems to be working as far as I can tell.

Pictures:

adjust nVidia settings accordingly

Post by: SirPeale on March 16, 2008, 06:13:59 pm: Definitely some variety of sync issue.

Are you also using Soft 15KHz?
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 16, 2008, 07:39:58 pm: No right now I don't have Soft15KHz installed. Should I?
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 16, 2008, 10:03:11 pm: I installed it again and now there's no more mirroring ;D

One more thing I have to fix is the picture being squished at the bottom, I'll update with more pictures tomorrow.

Post by: Xb0x3r on March 18, 2008, 08:37:41 pm: I finally got around to taking a picture of the monitor. You may or may not notice it but you cant actually see the Taskbar or the Blue bar at the top that should be there. There is also a very noticeable flickering in the picture but it also could be because it is so close to a huge transformer, or the fact that my video cable is temporary right now (not making the BEST connection)

Post by: Ken Layton on March 19, 2008, 12:04:35 am: And you adjusted the 50/60 pot and the vert size? They interact.
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 19, 2008, 07:33:29 am: Yes I did adjust that 50-60hz pot, and it did make a huge difference but now I cant make V Size any smaller (I've maxed out the pot)
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Ken Layton on March 19, 2008, 11:29:53 am: And this monitor has had a fesh capkit installed?
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 19, 2008, 04:04:37 pm: No it does not have a new cap kit installed, but I thought seeing that it's not THAT old it really didn't need it. Again on to me maxing out the V SIZE pot, anyway around this? :dunno
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Ken Layton on March 19, 2008, 05:58:13 pm: Capkit this monitor.
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 22, 2008, 10:26:09 pm: Can I get something set straight? On The Real Bob Roberts, he's got a cap kit for a K7000 (I'm assuming that would the the circuit board reference number). Is this the right cap kit I need for the 25K7193?

http://www.therealbobroberts.net/k7000.html

According to that chart, it looks like I need a K7000 cap kit.

Just trying to make sure.

Thanks,

Post by: Ken Layton on March 23, 2008, 12:30:16 am: Yes a 7193 is a k7000.
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 24, 2008, 09:09:58 pm: Well it turns out the resolution was just way too high for the monitor to display it properly so that when you moved your mouse, the screen scrolled with it. The monitor still does need a cap kit for good measure. But it has a really bad flickering. Bad enough to not be able to read anything small. Is there any way to make an attempt of fixing it? I'm going to make a temporary box lined with tin foil to insulate the thing.

Any ideas?

Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: qrz on March 27, 2008, 08:26:01 pm: forget the foil and change the caps......

treat the cause , not the symptom ;)

Post by: SirPeale on March 27, 2008, 09:18:31 pm: What resolution have you been running @?
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 29, 2008, 09:43:39 pm: Currently, it's running at 800x600...I cant really force it to go lower without losing my CRT PC Monitor.

Post by: SirPeale on March 30, 2008, 10:58:36 am: You can't do 640x480?
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 30, 2008, 11:13:52 am: I can try, but it seems when I force it down more, the PC Monitor just says "Frequency Over Range"

I haven't done it in a while but it did do that before I changed settings and stuff around...I'll try it tonight ;)
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: SirPeale on March 30, 2008, 11:53:50 am: The idea is that you'll use just the arcade monitor, or PC CRT, but not both. Are you still doing setup?
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 31, 2008, 06:51:14 pm: Yeah currently, the thing is sitting in my basement beside the PC Monitor (I have 2 arcade monitors, both the same model)

So I'll try to change it down right now and update in a few minutes!
Title: Re: WG 25k7193 Problem
Post by: Xb0x3r on March 31, 2008, 07:00:36 pm: Well I forced it down and the picture became worse! It still flickered a lot and also had scrolling lines across the screen :censored:
