I have just bought a Sharp QA-1800 the problem is I can't get a signal. I have connected it to my PC using the 26-pin/15-pin lead but all I get is a message that says "No-Signal (P)" Am I missing something, you see I have onlt had one projector panel before, whicj worked fine until the PSU burnt out, but I have never had a sharp LCD Panel. So if you are familiar with these panels can you please help me out. I'm pretty much a newbie at this and would greatly appreciate any advice.
Oh and I know that the LCD panel works bescause the menu is working so there is definately power going to the Panel, just no signal.
Thank you.

4 things come to mind. Second monitor is not activated in "Display Properties" on your PC. Wrong resolution and refresh rate being sent to the panel. Or a loose connection or a bad cable.
Thanks for the reply. I will try out these suggestions. Do you know what the coeerct resolution should be for the PC, and the refresh rate?
Also, if the PC settings are the problem, why can I not get a signal from the composite video which has nothing to do with the PC display? I had no problems getting my VCR and TV to work with my old LCD panel and its the same VCR and TV I have now, but I can't get them to work with this panel.
Thanks

This link http://members.cox.net/rolm/results.html lists the QA1800 having a resolution of 800 x 600. Now that you mention that you can't get composite to work either sounds like your panel may have bigger issues. Hopefully you will be able to get one or the other to work.
well i got a sharp 1200, with it you need to press select and + at the same time to cycle through the inputs.
you may already know that though, or it may not work on an 1800 but I thought i'd mention it in case

Yeah I tried that, still no signal. so I sent the panel back to get a refund, thanks for the help though.
