No HDMI Output

I can get the video on the composite just fine. My RPi gets enough (4.93 V) juice.
Cannot get anything on my DVI monitor.
I have checked that the cable and the monitor work fine with a different computer. I have tried a lot of combinations of the hdmi options, the latest config.txt looks like this:

Code: Select all

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
config_hdmi_boost=7
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=47
hdmi_drive=2


I know that my RPi can see the monitor since

Code: Select all

> tvservice -d edid.dat


produces the data. Also the monitor stops displaying the "no signal" message when the RPi is connected. However screen remains black.

Here is a 'relevant' part of the tvservice -d output:

Code: Select all

HDMI:EDID version 1.3, 1 extensions, screen size 41x26 cm

I also tried connecting to an HDMI TV. Nothing on the screen, but the TV recognizes that the raspberrypi_li device is attached to the HDMI port.

What am I missing?

Thanks

All I can say is "Me Too".

My 256MB board works just fine headless via VNC, but I can't get any HDMI out.

Hopefully,

Bill

Gagh, me too. Mine was working a treat and then after switching to a raspbmc card and back again it gave up. Lets hope someone knows the cure.

After finding my way into /boot/config.txt I uncommented the first option, hdmi_safe=1, and that worked for me. I can now have fun sorting out display resolution issues.

There's a wealth of config.txt information at http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt .

HTH,

Bill
