I wonder if there are differences in vga-dsub cables? hopefully nothing goes wrong as i've already got 1 error "errno6: spi nbyte program fialed during command execution at adress 0x2900" so it tried to write got the error and wrecked it. what could be gone wrong and how could i possibly restore it...

i found 3 and the one that is named in the guide was amongst them so I went on with the command list.. I personally would not change this as you may try to flash a chip, that is not to be flashed. but as you have the 2420 it might have another name, that's correct. and you only found 1? yes, I only...

Hey guys, somebody I send my lpt to vga cable to tried to update his 2411z monitor. Unfortunately, he didn't read the tutorial properly and missed to get the monitor into standby mode. Instead he used it while flashing, so it kept erasing forever. When I told him about it, he realised his mistake a...

Here's what you'll need to build the tool, using the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS iso (which also behaves as a live CD): boot in "Try ubuntu" mode (the default), open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T); type "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"; an editor opens, add "universe multiverse" at the end of the second line, t...

connecting the BenQ to the VGA port of the laptop but not activate the external display on the laptop- so the BenQ will remain in standby when connected? Or do I have to activate the external display on the laptop and set the benq to hdmi or dvi- so it will remain in standby mode? (I got that right...

Hi,

In order not to hijack this DIY build thread any longer, I created a new one for the linux tool here: http://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=779

I posted an answer for you there, mrz121.

Hi, As I announced in http://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?p=5508#p5508, I have managed to write a driver allowing me to reflash my XL2411Z without requiring me to buy or build an adapter. More details are available in the thread I mentioned above, and the patch and procedure are available at...

Good news, everyone! I just managed to flash the V2 firmware on my XL2411Z, using only a VGA cable and some code I wrote. It only requires a PC or laptop running GNU/Linux, and a video chip that exposes its I2C bus (the Intel graphic chip icluded in most laptops and recent CPUs does). It's all avail...

Hi, I recently got a XL2411Z, which came with a v1 firmware, and I'm looking for a way to update it. I also think that it might be feasible at virtually no cost, using only a VGA cable and software. It is actually possible to use the DDC wires of a graphics card to control non-DDC I2C devices. There...
