Customized MM400 dosn't show picture at start, when display is cold
By: Zuki Rank: Starfleet Ensign Postings: 1 From: n/a	Posted: Mo Feb 12, 2007 - 02:40 Hi everyone, I have a 7" display (MM400), which had to be changed a lot to fit in a custom solution. The backplate has been removed from the display, just as all PCB's had to be moved around (See http://www.nygaard.eu/auto_pc_i_suzuki_grand_vitara.html for pictures - don't expect you will get much from the text ) The display is supplied power when the is started, but often in the morning, when the car is cold, no picture is shown on the display. If I recycle power after a couple of minutes, when the car has heated up a bit, it works fine (Since the display power is controlled by the car ignition, I have reboot the car. Guess that is what happens when you let PC's into a car ). Does anyone have similar expiriences with a display? What could be done? Best Regards Keld Nygaard Denmark

Until then I gave it power direct from the car battery (unregulated). All the problems were solved and the picture is better too. Mail me for more details. Antonis@plevrakis.net Crete, Greece.
