Man i wish someone could find that mod for this thing =0

yes sorry the monitor works pretty good i only had to change the av cables :-)

So, per Cuba59, it works fine w/o amplifier using a 5.8Ghz RX. What brand?

I can tell you you'll have trouble with a Lawmate 1.3Ghz unless you get a powered amplifier. I have taken the bird out fairly far, but still have only gone under 50% video for brief moments during hard turns and the monitor has yet to blue screen on me.

I looked all over the Internet for the Haier blue screen removal mod, but couldn't find it. Someone that knows a lick of electronics can probably open the thing up and tell us what to do.

Here's a video..

EPP FPV First Flight with all FPV gear (7 min 39 sec)

i use a foxtech 5.8 Rx but getting the blue screen as well with the haier.

Mine has been working well unmodified, but would like to know how that mod was done.

The problem is back. For a while, I would consistently get video to my Haier through the amplifier.. now its trial and error. Worse, when it works, it doesn't stay working.

This isn't a blue screen problem.. it just says there is no video input whatsoever. The Fatshark goggles and the Camcorder get a solid signal in my setup pictured above. I really want to figure out how to get the Haier to work. I agree it is a sync issue.. but how to fix it?

i switched recently to 1.3ghz and now with the RV receiver it works flawless, with a patch antenna its even better. the only thinf is with the AV cable, i have to pull it a little out of the TV AV female connector.

Interesting.. I'll have to try a different video cable.
I've been hauling my 24" PC monitor to the field because it has RGB inputs. Works, great, but its not easily portable and a pain to reconnect to my PC each time.

Any updates on the blue screen mod? I REEEEAAALLLY need it!

Was taking my FPV tricopter out trying to test the limits of my 100w 1.3ghz TX/RX and hit the wall very quickly (~200 ft high). Got a little static and then boom..black screen. Well that 5 secs it took for the video to pop back on seemed like an eternity!

Hoping someone has seen or heard something as it's been a while.

A video amplifier will help alleviate the problem. It will still go to blue screen at the very extremes of range where the signal is very weak, however.

I was having similar problems to you, Kerbob, and I fixed them by replacing the cable. Not all A/V cables are the same even if they look like it, though. I had to try a couple different ones before I found a match.

My black screen came on while connected behind the eagleeyes system.

I also suspect the video cable now. A friend of mine had a portable dvr and plugged it into my Haier video video in cable and it didn't work either. He said he hasn't had a problem with his DVR yet with anything else.
I am using the cable that came with it but may run to wally world or ebay to buy a new one.

imagebuff,
Do you ever have the black screen while you're well within range? That is the problem I am having.

Easy solution to "Blue Screen Of Death". I mount my receiver on the back of my monitor near the top. Clip the wires from the receiver at about 3" and clip the wires for the monitor at about 3 inches. Solder them together. Problem Solved.

The reason the amplifiers are helping you guys is because the power output of these receivers are very low. Amplifying it helps but results in other problems. By eliminating all plugs between receiver and monitor and getting the cable as short as possible, it reduces signal loss. No diversity or amps needed.

I am getting nice distance with the small antenna's that came with my 200 watt, 5.8 ghz down link from Hobby King. Given better antennas with more gain, the sky should be the limit, as they say.

I'm thinking VRX signal strength is important as well. I am currently testing a 3.5" LCD, and it appears there's a huge boost by useing a quality RX/cables (Lawmate 2.4) VS a cheapy RX/cables (R2Hobbies 2.4). Same Lawmate 2.4 500mw VTX used for both. The LCD can handle loads more static now before going bluescreen. Absolutely night and day.
The cable quality is probably better, but I believe the VRX is also more powerful, which may mean a cleaner more powerful signal going into the LCD. The cables of both are about the same length.
