OrbXF Bios settings

[Martin J]

Hi to all. 

I am hoping that one of you may be able to help with a list of the correct Bios settings for the Orb desk.  Ours has sideview reset its Bios settings to default. Through lengthy trial and error, the desk has finally been made to work again and it now loads ZerOS as normal but I have been unable to make the Monitor 2 video output show the correct colours on the display. (It's not a display issue - I've tried swapping over). Monitor 1 video is fine. How is the Monitor 2 video generated?

Many thanks for any words of wisdom! 

Best regards,

Martin

Hi @Martin J,

I'm fairly confident that Frog2 and Orb Series consoles have the same BIOS as each other, so when I'm home I'll make a list of all the BIOS settings for you.

Failing that, some soldered connections on the VGA connector itself for monitor 2 may be faulty, therefore not giving all colours on the display output.
The VGA port has individual pins for Red, Green and Blue colours, so one of those might be causing the issue you're experiencing.

Hi Martin,

The only BIOS section which pops out to me regarding this issue is Advanced > Display Control.

The settings are as follows:

• Display Mode: [CRT+LFP]
• Flat Panel Type: [XGA 1x18]
• Flat Panel Scaling: [Stretched]

If those settings are already as listed, it may be a dodgy connection internally to the Monitor 2 VGA port causing a colour to not be output, giving you an image without the correct colours. If you're confident in opening the desk, it would be worth checking this.

I hope this helps.
