      Hi Guys

      i am trying to remote control my system and leave it in the garage, currently i am using 2x gigabyte 280x win 7 and team view
      but for some reason if i dont have anything with power plug in the the display ports, i can’t even see anything on team view, soon as i plug my monitor in, it becomes ok.

      but my friend with same setup, dont need any plugs at all

      i think i seen somthing around about having to plug a fake plug in? anyone know what that is call?

      or can anyone recommend me somthing else? or a solution?

      i just want to remote control my system with out anything plug in, besides the power

      thanks

        A dummy plug.

        Basically, you take your VGA>DVI adapter, stick 3 75 OHM resistors in the sockets, and you’re good to go.

            This guide is very comprehensive and should be added to the guides here.

            I am left with one question though as the guide talks about WIN being the part of the system your trying to trick into thinking a monitor is supplied using the dummy plug. So does operating a miner with BAMT on a flash drive require these too? Or does the BAMT not have the built in idler that WIN has?
            Thanks
