| 1139958 | 2010-09-27 07:23:00 | Partial success in creating myself a YPbPR to VGA adapter for my 360 Mostly because i'm too much of a muppet to spend $8 on trademe for a proper VGA adapter and because I was bored. Whipped this up for $11 from DSE Pictures tall the whole story. At least I know the green pinout is working, obviously red and blue are not!! (hence the green screen) So i'm feeling very smart but it still far from finished. I need to get a red and blue signal first (then buy the proper thing) |

| 1139959 | 2010-09-27 07:29:00 | And it fails now, works (sort of) on the projector as seen in test shots) but fails to even put anything of my 22'' HP v220, ideas? | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1139960 | 2010-09-27 10:25:00 | Some VGA devices are a bit picky about sync. IIRC the VGA pinout has separate lines for vsync and hsync, with some hardware supporting sync-on-green (just RGB with sync merged into the green line). Try other VGA displays, since component-to-VGA is (technically) out of spec (non-separate sync), support can be hit-and-miss. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1139961 | 2010-09-27 13:00:00 | I don't know but I am thinking it may not be possible... not without some kind of active circuitry to actually modify the signals... But I don't understand very well how either of them work really. |

| 1139962 | 2010-09-27 19:48:00 | The projector is a portable tank really, an EIKI LC4200. the weird part is, i noticed SOME red is getting in, my gamertag is red and it gets a faint glow but that's it. If I remove all the YPbPR cords and plug them in the blue and the red will flash up for a second before disappearing (about 1 scan) ill check my wiring again. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1139963 | 2010-09-27 21:10:00 | There's some tutorial on how to do that somewhere on the net So, it can be done |

| 1139964 | 2010-09-27 21:42:00 | i've kinda given up on it now, trying to find some torx screw drivers to get into my 360's case (bloody MS and their dratted torx screws) so I can solder the VGA wires straight from the pinout to a point on the back of the case. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1139965 | 2010-09-27 21:49:00 | Here's a hack which includes a VGA port www.engadget.com Altho, it'd probably help if you had the cable |

| 1139966 | 2010-09-27 23:03:00 | I've seen plenty of these, but I'd prefer to keep the A/V cable intact, I still use it (except at home, I don't have a TV, just my 22'' LCD) I'll just get my some decent torx drivers a proper cable. goof fun whilst it lasted though. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
