Amstrad CPC 464 fault

[itfiddler]

I have a CPC 464, a CPC 6128 and only one monitor. The CPC 6128 looks perfect on the monitor but with the CPC 464 the image is shifted upwards. Any hints on what should be checked?

CPC 464

Is this a CRT or LCD monitor?
If it's LCD, have you tried turning on autoconfiguration (sometimes called autoscan)?

The rounding at the top would suggest that it's a CRT, probably an Amstrad monitor. Have you tried adjusting the v-hold?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is the Amstrad CRT color monitor I bought with the CPC 6128.

Yes, it is a CRT monitor, thanks Bryce. You mean adjust V-Hold of the CRT monitor? If so, why would it works perfectly with the CPC 6128 and only notice the vertical shift when tested with the CPC 464?

type on 464:

BORDER 12 (and press ENTER)

Make Photo whole monitor.

out&bc00,7:out&bd00,30

Make Photo whole monitor.

out&bc00,4:out&bd00,38

Make Photo whole monitor.

Yes, because no two setups are identical. Even a slightly different resistance or capacitance on the monitor cable (Sync signal) or the GA socket condition can change things.
