I recently purchased a Wii, and only received my component cables today. After hooking them up I was unable to get component video working with my 2407FPW Rev A03 display. I verified that the Wii is working properly by connecting it to another set.
Has anyone else seen something like this? When I connect the component input all I see is a pure pink screen. Display info says that it's accepting 480i input over component. Any help or possible solutions would be appreciated.
The Wii supports only 480i and 480p. It's currently set to 480i (I haven't been able to get in to change it to progressive scan since all I get the previously mentioned pink screen).
* Power off the Wii
* Power off the PC
* Power off the monitor
* Disconnect all cabling from the bottom of the monitor (including the power cord). NOTE - Disconnecting the power cord releases all circuit latches "resetting" them
* Reconnect either the VGA cable or the DVI cable (not both)
* Reconnect the monitor power cord
* Power on the monitor
* Power on the PC
* You should now be on the the windows desktop using either the VGA or DVI
* Re-connect the Wii to the monitor component
* Power on the Wii
* Press the Input Select button on the monitor and switch to Component
* Open the Wii Options menu and switch to 480p
* Insert a Wii game
I have the exact same problem. Except mine doesn't have any signal at all go through. When I scan for sources it says that it does detect component cables though.
$768 for a dell monitor that doesn't even have working hookups. What a rip.
I just tried switching the Wii over to 480p then hooking it back up to my 2407FPW with the same result - the display info reports 480p input, but all I see is a pink screen.
