Has anyone had any experience switching this monitor from Medium res (EGA) to Standard res (CGA)? I can't seem to find a manual for this model online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Anyone have any thoughts before I start swapping cables around blindly? =P
 
i have never worked on this chassis but all the sharp image monitor i have worked on that were dual res switched with a connector on the main pcb near the flyback area and you pull it off one header and install it on the other header next to it. not sure if your model is that way but if not post some pictures of the chassis.
 
Here is what mine looks like. Just unplug the one end from the 15K header and plug it into the 25K header.

I hope this helps. These Sharp Image monitors have nearly zero online resources.

thanks so much for the replies! Unfortunately, my monitor doesn't appear to have that daughter board where I can swap the cable from 15k to 25k. Ill see if I can get better pictures of the chassis and post them tonight or tomorrow. It's a little difficult to take them due to the monitor being used/currently installed in a cabinet
 
It is tough to see. I had to cram my phone into the cabinet and snap the picture. The switcher board is facing forward under the tube. It is nearly impossible to see from outside the cabinet.

Darn! Took a picture and it looks like it's already set to 15K. GUess I'll have to try something else. I've been trying to get a heroes of the storm 2 multi board to work in this cabinet. I already returned it once and the seller was nice enough to test it in an arcade cab prior to shipping it.

Thanks for your help guys!
