Hello all,

I hope i can find the help i need in this community. Already spent 2 years in forums, reddit, trying to figure out the issue but without success.

So for my pvm, it's a 20m2e model.
Came 2 years ago with few issues, 3 rgb horizontal lines collaps on top, and some display issues.
fixed that with some recap and minor calibration. (Reference was Retro Tech on youtube)
Worked like a charm. Few weeks later was playing my snes, and suddenly the display disappeared. Still hearing the sound.
I underline that it's only the input. The menu shows just fine and clean.
Tried rgb, component, composite, s video, with different sources and cables, nothing seems to be fed to the monitor.

Asked a lot of people, including Savonpat, but whithout result.

It's either the rear pannel (which is unlikley to fail completely) or some decoding chip in the chassis.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I don't want to dissuade you from posting on here, but have you posted on shmups forum? There are a few folks on there that seem to know this series of Sony monitors intimately.
 
Ye

I just threw a stone here may be a sleeping veteran will wake up and help me 😂
