Re: [foxboro] Video Cards P91 & P92

I too have had recent problems with new video cables, although neither
the cables nor monitors were purchased from Foxboro. Even though the
video cable screws are tightened with pliers at the monitor, the video
plugs are still loose enough to cause these strange color symptoms
sometimes. Reseating them by hand temporarily fixes the problem. I have
seen no problems on the PC end. I haven't figured out whether the video
cable screws are too long, or what, as they do screw in well. This was
just to let you know that all of the video cable problems out there are
video cable crimping problems.

There are crimp and solder versions of these cables
I heard that crimps were the culprits which I find surprising
(plug not fully populated = crimp)

I came across both types while diagnosing video picture quality and they
both perform poorly at 30M

Has any one ran into issues with the Video cards on the P91 & P92 units.
We are running dual monitor video card on both our P91 & P92 with a
y-cable. This is happening on both units. The screen goes blueish-purple
every once and a while. By wiggling the cable the problem goes away. I
thought it was a marginal y-cable so I replaced them but this was not
the cause.  I also check the stress on the cables, and made sure that
they have slack.
 
Any Ideas, or is it just the connection to cards?
 
 
Thank you for your support.
