I picked up a Portrait Display around the same time I purchased my other IIfx. Of course, there's problems:
(1) The Portrait Display does not show an image at all when connected to its Portrait Display video card (only the front LED indicator light and the fan inside the monitor work)
(2) If I connect the Portrait Display to my High-Res video card, it displays........something (albeit very lousy). Picture rolls and there's tons of sweep lines - can't really make anything out. Haven't tried it with my 8.24GC card since that's in the OrangePC IIfx
Before opening up the unit and blaming it on caps/picture tube/wires/etc. is there any other troubleshooting I can do? Are the 13w3 cables notorious for going bad? I only have one available for the moment.
I did see some adjustment pots in the rear behind a plastic cover - can they be turned with a regular screwdriver or do I need a special tool for that?
