Welcome to DH!

What are some things that you have tried to do? Have you tried another set of component cables? What about settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel? Is this for a secondary display or for a primary display?

More info would be helpful

It supouse to show display from the restart of the comp. the nvidia control panel not showing any posibillity of component output and i tried even bios update..... maybe i dont have the right bios update. the HD is the secondery monitor (My HD tv) now i cant see movies

Well if it stopped working, then there might be an issue with the component converter itself. is there any possible way for you to try another component converter that came with the card? or do you only have the one converter cable that came with the card?

What about different component cables?

i don't believe it would be the "Force Television Detection" option within windows because you are not even getting a display on your TV during the boot sequence. this is something that is supposed to happen regardless if you have this option disabled in windows as you are not even in windows at this point in time.

I have another component covnvert cable but still there is no display. Could it be that the component output from the graphic card is damaged? even if the IDIV or VGA outputs r working?

shyyke · Oct 21, 2008, 05:29 PM

Well..... i guess there is no solution for me....
If u'll have any update plz let me know
tnx

hey, sorry about not replying back here!

so, if i understand this right, you have display from both DVI ports even when using the DVI to VGA adapters but not from the component cable adapter?

did you even check the options i listed for you in my previous post about the "force television detection" settings? you didn't answer that part of my question.

shyyke · Oct 22, 2008, 12:00 PM

Hi
yep!! i have tried force TV. and all the things u told me to do
I'm going NUTS
cant figure it out

CDsDontBurn · Oct 22, 2008, 08:52 PM

hmm....it does sound like the component video has failed on you then. what about just a standard s-video cable? it's only going to be analog and a max resolution of 1024x768, but that's just to see if the whole port itself has failed on you.

If so, then i'd say it's time to RMA that card of yours.

shyyke · Oct 25, 2008, 04:32 PM

greta idea lets try

shyyke · Oct 25, 2008, 04:47 PM

But not working

CDsDontBurn · Oct 26, 2008, 12:18 AM

did the "force TV dection" option work for you with the s-video though? that i know for sure needs to be enabled in order for it to work like that.

but if nothing still, then i say RMA.

shyyke · Oct 26, 2008, 11:23 AM

Yea i think RMA TOO

CDsDontBurn · Oct 26, 2008, 11:52 AM

you know how to set up an RMA with them right?

if not, be sure to create an account, and afterwards register the video card. then you can submit the RMA request.

shyyke · Nov 16, 2008, 03:43 PM

great!! tnx!!!

CDsDontBurn · Nov 16, 2008, 04:26 PM

np. keep me posted on what's going on then with that RMA
