OK, I need some help on solving a problem. The Green tube is illumimating, but not projecting the image. I have tried the following with no change. Switched the RGB amplifer, switched the RGB swither card. I can see the image barely when looking into the lens. When I go to the internal adjustment settings the green illuminates fine, but again not with a normal input. I am using port 3 for my input source. Any help on where to go from here would be gratly appreicated.

Test port 5. Also, make sure the G2 is correctly set. Lastly, do any frequencies work correctly?

Hmm... if it was a bad green tube....why would I still get a normal green text when I go into the adjustment mode? I would think if the tube is bad.. the text would be out.

I haven't touched any adjustments on the G2. You think the port 3 itself might be out?

Sounds like the tube is fine, I would check port 5 and see if you get an image.

How difficult is it to switch out the Port 3? I have a 2nd 1208 available. I connected a composite signal to port 1 and the PJ works fine. So, I believe the problem must be with the port 3.
