Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

DVI port doesn't work on either computer, in both Linux and Windows. In Ubuntu, there is no signal no matter how many times I replug the thing (I'm talking about the usb "Try Ubuntu" type linux btw, not a full install, if that makes any difference).

In Windows, there is no signal as soon as the os ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

I tried just now, nothing changed. Still Generic NON-PNP monitor on DVI, and works fine with DP.

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Flashing with Nvidia card - done

No problems occured. BUT, DVI port still in the same condition as before. It is like the port itself is not active or something. Since I am able to flash the thing using that port, and can actually get picture from the port (although it is only 60hz stupid picture ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Alright, here is what happened. I 've bought a DisplayPort cable and everything works perfectly. System knows its driver, and can do everything I want to do, including changing the hz to 144, adjusting with Blur Busters Strobe Utility etc..

So, the problem is the DVI port and not the monitor itself ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Update: I used a vga->DVI connector in order to test the D-Sub slot of the monitor, and windows recognizes it. So the only problem is the DVI mode I think. As far as I remember, I can also use the display port in order to reach 144hz and do everything I want to do with DVI. I'll go out and buy a dp ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Hold on, I've done something.

I replugged the monitor and it started working. I've checked the firmware and it is v0003 now.

BUT, it's still classified as Generic NON-PNP monitor. So, basically, not much changed even thought I've went back to original firmware.

Any ideas?

edit: This is the ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

edit: I've tried a bunch of button combinations but nothing happens. Still no signal by the way.

edit2: seriously, no matter what combination I press while turning it back on, it still goes to No Signal and goes to sleep after a ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Alright, done with flashing. I'm on this screen at the moment, is there anything you want me to do before I switch back to windows?

There is still no signal on the BenQ monitor btw, I didn't touch a thing yet.

I downloaded from the first post of this topic and then resized it to 2048kb. Also, there is another person who updated the firmware on the same monitor and our firmware page looks identical.

Verifying flash atm. Is there anything you want ...
