Home theater PC when shutdown TV no longer being detected? - 2009/03/14 07:01
I have been doing a bit of research into home theater PC and the issues I have been experiencing. It appears that I'm not alone in having display issues with my home theater PC connected to my HDTV. I have a Samsung A650 series LCD TV which when turned off for a period of time is not detected by the home theater PC anymore, as the home theater PC thinks its been disconnected as its not able to successfully perform an EDID handshake, as I think thats what it's called.
The long and the short of it is its and EDID issue which can be resovled by buying a device that goes between the home theater PC and the HDTV which tricks the home theater PC into thinking the the HDTV is always on and so it never loses the signal when waking up from sleep or standby. Unfortunately this device is very expensive. I'm somewhat convinced that this issue could be resolved by a BIOS hack or a software hack that NVIDIA is currently unwilling and/or unable to make for whatever reason. But ATI cards also have this same issue by the way.
So, would it be posible in your experience to modify the BIOS in such a way that it doesn't think the monitor once detected is ever disconnected? In effect performing the same function as this external box I just mentioned. This problem causes real havoc on home theater PC's running HDMI and it would be great if the community could fix it as the manufacturers don't appear to be coming to the party. Thanks.
