Hey,



i?ve finally assembled my chopped noami cabinet.



i have connect my xbox 360 via vga with a resolution setting of 640x480.



the sound is working fine, the light of the cabinet switches on - but the screen only displays a very squeezed image :(

i?ve tryed turning the control panel switches, but nothing changes.



i connected a normal windows laptop also - 640x480 60hz - same result.



did i miss to connect something?



how can i fix this? :smt009



additional things i noticed:

- the demag button on the cp is working

- on the CP board itself: 2 LEDs are glowing constantly red, on the excel (side board) 1 LED is constantly blinking red.

This problem is called 'frame collapse'. Probably a broken/cold solder joint somewhere on the chassis. Could be an easy fix for someone capable of doing simple chassis repair stuff.

it was easier :D



i checked everything again and noticed that the remote board was not connected to anything.



after searching a bit for the missing cable, it hit me.



took the back off again and attached the cable.



i have a picture now.
