second display is black and white!!!
I have a huge problem. I used my new second display last Friday. Everything worked great. I havent touched it since. So, as always, before a Friday show, I set up to practice. Now my monitor only shows black and white. Does anyone by chance know how to fix this???? I have a show in 24 hours. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had this problem at "one" of my shows, but not others. It was the house TV, I used an RF adapter to fix that problem. Is it a "house" TV or your moniter? Also, check your RCA cord, if using one for crimps or loose ends. I always carry an RF adapter with me, in case of just this problem. If you are using coax, the connector there could be your problem.

I am using a s-video cord, and just bought it today. I think my problem is with the settings or something, because I hooked up the other laptop to it, and it works fine, the only problem being i dont have all the music in the other laptop.
By the way, I am using a Zenith 20in flat screen, it is a monitor or tv. thanks jaymek |

Why it was bad for one computer and not the other (identical computers) I don't know, but replacing it fixed the problem. Sam |

We had a similar problem with a Saphire Video card that after a few re-boots, it corrected the problem itself... no problem was found. |
had that problem too at one time..i have an lcd tv/monitor by magnavox ..when you hooked it up to your pc/laptop make sure when you clicked the menu screen..choose the one that says powered by pc instead of tv

I would agree that most likely the problem is the cable to the TV.
Also, you might try updating the drivers from the Manufacturers website as I have seen this happen before, due to a driver issue. |
I Just wanted to let everyone know that to no avail, I still have the problem. Cords are new, drivers uninstalled and redone, Dell Technician was at my house and couldn't fix it. I'm screwed!!:?

what video card are you using ?? I have run into this a few times. and it was the settings on the g-force card. check your settings for TV. Bob

Perhaps!
Hi,
i had the same problem many months ago.Visit here and see if this helps you.It solved my problem. http://www.svideo.com/svideoscart.html |
Had this problem after having to reinstall after a system crash.
At first I just thought it was the TV as I was having problems with the color on it before. With the display attached:

Have the Dell Tech put a new Video card in the system, most likely the card has gone bad.

Cable is the culprit!
I have been following this thread because I had the same problem. I am going to get Hoster, but first I dowloaded the Demo and tried it. When it came time to hook the laptop (HP dv5150us) the display in the TV was B&W. I tried another computer (Dell) and 2 other TVs as well as an RF adapter to take the signal through the cable input of the TV. All gave a B&W picture.
The problem was that I was using a S-video cable that was splitting the signal into video (yellow cable) and color (black cable). This morning I paid a visit to the local MicroCenter and I got a s-video to single male RCA plug. The signal now is beautiful! Hope this helps. bandl :g |

Also, thanks to everyone working on this problem. The MTU.Community is working! :) |
I actually think that the problem was between the monitor and the software. I switched to a different monitor and I don't have a problem. Now, I'm sure there is a solution to the monitor problem, but the show must go on, so I just fixed it for now. Thanks to everyone.
