Sharp Qa-1650 Problems Urgent :D

[PrThanatos]

Hi everyone, first time poster but avid reader. I have all the parts ready to make my first lcdpanel ohp projector.

My lcd panel is a sharp qa-1650 and I'm having major problems with it. I've tried using both svideo and component video and plugging it into my computer and none of it has worked.

For svideo and component video when I switch to video mode the screen appears all in black. I've tried with 2 different svideo cables and 2 different dvd players so I don't imagine the problem is with them.

I'm sure that colour can work on the screen because the sharp logo appears just fine.

I was thinking that maybe some settings need to be adjusted, if so any idea which? I also understand from the manual that there is a way to reset all, however, my manual is instructing me to push a button that doesn't exist (a , button strangely enough). Does anyone maybe know how to do a reset all?

All the info I've given is to let you guys know what I've done but the truth is I really don't have much of a clue so I'd appreciate any advice I could receive.

Thanks alot.
