    I keep running into an issue with my HDLink where if it is bumped in the least it will shut off the monitor it is hooked up to. When I check it, i hardly touch it and it comes back up so it has made it very hard to isolate the problem. Its not located in a high traffic area, with it being so sensitive it just seems kinda rigged. anyone else running into this issue? could it be a short in the HD Link?

    hi trent
    Just a idea here.. My hd link will blink off then come back on also.
    Not often.. What I see is that the driver wacks out.. so I uninstall
    and reinstall and all is well.. I could see that it would appear as a short in the unit. You might want to give that a check. Also just wondering does you compurter have troubles turning off? when all is working fine on mine it wont shut down by it self, it just restarts. If i’am way off base, sorry about that..
    regards

    Hi Trent,

    Can you try another cable? Some DVI connections are not very good and the pins can be too short so trying another cable is a good idea. It is also important to firmly tighten the screws so that the cable is firmly attached to the HDLink. If the cable has been wrenched in the past, this could damage the pins on the cable, or maybe even the port on the HDLink, but hopefully that hasn’t happened.

    Regards,
