I'm afraid that's currently the most likely scenario :-((

Quote:Maybe your fantec hdmi output is just more robust than the raspberry hdmi outputs. I guess you always used the tv first and then the monitor, right?

- Raspberry Pi 3: It was only connected to the monitor after it suddenly stopped showing a picture on the TV.
- Raspberry Pi 4: It was bought after the 3 stopped showing a picture - and of course unwittingly connected to the very same TV, assuming the TV had nothing to do with the dying of the video output of the 3.
- Fantec: It was intended as a sacrifice to figure out if the TV is the culprit. Thus it was connected first to the monitor (to figure out it was working OK before connecting to the TV), then to the TV (where it showed a picture, contrary to my expectation) and then reconnected to the monitor (where it still worked!)

Quote:And yes, it's a good idea to test the Pi's without any additional hardware.

Yes, I will test that additionally, plus I have a second TV (unfortunately with a DVI connector only, not a HDMI, I ordered a converter on Amazon), which I will use for testing as well. But I don't expect any pictures from the Raspberries - but I was surprised more than once in this case...
