I had posted a reply in a recent post, but it may have been off-topic and I have additional info, so I'm just starting a new post.

First off, most recently (read 4am this morning), I wanted to watch streaming video from my laptop to my pj. I hooked up a dvi/hdmi cable from my dell latitude d830 docking station to the hdfury/rgb (input A) and started adjusting settings on the computer. The immediate display was a rolling pic with aweful green color, intermittently overtaken by a completely black/gray pixelated "fuzz". I was able to change the bias, gain, hue, color to achieve a barely acceptable pic, but I can only avoid the rolling by setting the dell desktop setting (thankfully registering as hdfury automatically) to 526i. Changing any other input related setting on the pj didn't seem to have any affect, if not making it worse. attempting 7xx or 1080 from the dell settings renders my screen to horizontal lines void of any image or a complete loss of signal and and error message of "out of range". Is there any way to use my dell fed into the fury to view 1080? My sony home theater dav-hdx285 hooks up to the fury without any issues. Or should I just feed an s-vid from the docking station to the sony theater system? I'd like to keep hdmi options if at all possible.

Separately, and less importantly, from my other post "my blue refuses to completely focus. The green and red do quite well with the manual adjustments (though I'm sure it could be better, I wouldn't know), but the photo is as good as the blue gets. ideas?"

You guys rock!

I didn't comment on the other thread, as it appears to be an HDFury issue. Reboot, check resolutions, try a different (shorter) HDMI cable, etc. If the menus are solid, the projector should be OK.

As for the focusing, there are focus pots on the side of the chassis. Try tweaking those. It's normal for the blue to focus a bit less than the other two colors, and if the rear of the lenses and front of the tubes are clean, then it's probably as good as you'll get. THere may be dust between the lenses and tubes, pull the lenses to check and clean with lens paper. It looks from the above pix that you may have slight haloing from dust particles on the back of the lens.

OK, so this is a source issue. Do you have the AC adapter for the Fury? Have you tried a short (1m/3ft) HDMI cable from the computer to the Fury? Have you started at a lower resolution, like 640 X 480 and worked your way up?

Yes, take off those 4 nuts on each lens, and it will come right off. It's about 3Kg, so beware that they don't drop.

Do you have the AC adapter for the Fury?

Yeah, What about it? We have it plugged into the fury hooked up to our pj. I thought that was necessary for the fury to function? Oh and I was wrong, we-re running fury/5bnc not fury/rgb.

You've got to be kidding me. I unplugged the power, and plugged it back in, heard a little *click* and now I can't see sh*t. What happened? Is my fury busted? Is there a warranty on it?

phew, blue light is back on, I've got 720p. Jeeze what a scare, I'm going to quit fiddling with it for resolution until I get the new cord. Still want to hear what you had to say about the power cord though.
