[cross-cut]

I'm trying to help a friend get his Anilam 6000 control system working again. It appears to be a retrofit. The system started having issues with the video blinking out and coming back randomly, usually after some warm-up time. Now the display is out completely. The system boots fine and the controls work, just no video output. We have tried a different display with no luck. Probing with an O-scope shows no activity on the HSYNC line. I suspect the video card is to blame but have had no luck looking for a replacement. The video card is separate from the motherboard but the connectors are not any standard that I recognize. The video card uses a CHIPS T65550 B chip. The board has "325985 02" in copper and stickers that say "329 860-02" and "00 31 60".

Help?

Did you sort out the video problem I have the exact same issue with my machine. Where did you find the information about the HSYNC line pin number?

Is that the video card attached to the motherboard or is it the circuit board behind the screen?
