Hi all,
I have an early model Mac Mini (PPC G4, Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.7), which I used, for watching Videos on my TV (non-HDTV; I know I know, I am behind the times !!). I used Apple's DVI to S-video adapter and it used to work fine. That is till this week, when a neighbours kid tinkered with the display setup and now the picture is at a 90 degree angle and is continuously flickering (darn neighbours!). I tried to go into display preferences, but it is very hard to see on the screen. I plugged the mini back into a CRT monitor, where it works fine. But on trying the same again on the TV, the problem resurfaced. I have tried the following options -
1. Shut down, Power-up, unplug and replug the adapter and cable
2. Setting changes on CRT monitor - works fine there.
3. Trying to change display settings on T.V., but unable to do so because cannot see picture. Earlier, I used to be 800x600, 56 or 60 hz (cannot remember exactly, maybe 56). Now the picture is grey, tilted and almost running up and down!
I am at my wits end trying this setup and would dearly like to have my "Mini-TV" linkup again. If any of you could guide me as to how to go about changing display preferences without seeing on TV screen or set a default for a TV, I will be eternally grateful! Thanks in Advance!
