Best thing you can do at this point I think is send me the RGB input board which also contains the microprocessor. Assuming you're within the US, it's $50 incl return shipping to test the board. No real other way to narrow it down at this point I'm afraid.

Curt, am I just remembering things, or haven't you said the factory reset isn't really a good idea on the Sony machines. I seem to remember returning all my controls to 127 manually to do a scratch setup because you said factory reset was risky for some reason.

Sorry, OP. Bummer you're having issues, but you'll get it sorted out.

I just don't like doing hard resets or firmware updates unless it's REALLY necessary (as in a memory dump on an NEC XG chassis.

I keep seeing posts over the years where people have nothing but prob;ems after a hard reset, so I discourage it. Worst case in the case of a 909, the controller board locks up during a firmware upload, and now you're out $3500 (price of a new controller board from BArco !)

Just say no, don't do it! Smile

It means the projector is synced to the internal oscillator, or in other words, it doesn't see a signal on the selected input.

Cheers,

Well that will be twice this month that I've seen that in a D50. Problem is, the other one is in Germany, so I sold the RGB input board outright, he didn't send in his for repair. If you want to send me yours, I'd be curious to see what the issue is.
