Flyer Monitor Blacked Out


Edmond Fetue

Recommended Posts

My Flyer Monitor Just went black while I was testing with a Canon 5D.

 

It's an SD Monitor.

 

There's no light whatsoever. Even the blue screen when is on "NO SIGNAL DETECTED" is off. It's gone black!

 

The green power light indicator is on but the screen is black.

 

I'm using 88w new Swit Batteries,

 

Any clues on this?

 

Thank you.

Remove the cable from the camera. Is the camera monitor still black? If so, you've exited Live View mode. The camera automatically does it when idle. Return to that mode and you should be good to go.

 

 

I've removed the video cable from the camera= Still Black.

Removed the battery from the steadicam and pluged it again = Still Black

 

Now I've returned the camera to the client already.

 

You're telling me it's something from the Canon 5d?

He says the light on the monitor is on and he can see the image on the screen, so it sounds like he is getting power just fine.

 

Edmond, I don't know if the backlight dying could be caused by being overpowered, but so long as those batteries aren't more than 14v there should be no power issues.
