#Microway/Sony 2020 Help!
4 messages in this thread
I have a Microway Flicker Fixer that I bought secondhand here on the sig.
It came with no manual or software, and I'm wandering if there are some
things tht I'm missing to get it to work with a Sony 2020 monitor. I've
got the board installed and the monitor is hooked up, but all I get on the
screen is flickering green. Help!!!

I have a Microway flicker fixer complete with manual and software sitting in
its box doing nothing at the moment. Your monitor is not mentioned (manual is
too old, I think) but what might be of interest is that for other Sony monitors
it stresses that you should NOT use the cable that comes with the monitor, and
that the digital/analog switch should be set to analog.
The pin-outs for the cable should be as follows;
9 pin D-SUB, male at both ends:
pin # pin #
RED 1 3 GREEN 2 4 BLUE 3
5 HSYNC 4 8 VSYNC 5 9 GND 6
6 GND 7 7 GND 8 1 GND 9
2
Hope this helps. If you need any more info, just holler.

Thanks for the info. I think the monitor is screwed up, but I'll check
what you ahve sent. I bought a cable at Staples and I've hooked up a VCR
with no success. Stay tuned.

The formatting on your message was confusing, do you mean that the plugs
on either end of the cable should be wired as follows?
pin # pin #
. RED 1 3
. GREEN 2 4
. BLUE 3 5
. HSYNC 4 8
. VSYNC 5 9
. GND 6 6
. GND 7 7
. GND 8 1
. GND 9 2
You need to put a "." at the beginning of each short line in a list.
I'm sure the cable I got at Staples is straight across. Thanks for the
info!
Is Microway still around? Do you have a support number for them?
