Need EDID for Samsung S27A350H monitor

[MikaelBrun]

Is there anybody out there with a Samsung S27A350H, which can extract the EDID and share it?

You might be able to find it online rather. Haven't you Googled it?

You will find that driver for your monitor through the Samsung website, and monitor support.
It is a small file that adds information to windows and the display adapter profiles settings on what frequency`s the monitor can display and it`s colour bit depth it can handle. Or get the firmware update file for the monitor.

From the link bellow. click on it.

NB: Currently no driver support for windows 10, oh dear ! here we go again !
PS: It ain`t that hard to put the monitor model in google, you know and do a search.
Would of took less time than posting this on the forum. Anyway driver and firmware update are there.

Took all of 30 seconds for me.

First of all! I am online! And if I had found it in google, I wouldn't have asked for it.

I did not ask for either the driver or the firmware. I asked for the EDID. The firmware will only update automaticly, and when your firmware has an fault, but the installation software only recognize the "right" firmware, then I have to find another way. The only way, which google has told me, is to get the right EDID, or change the board. The board is $50 + transport and taxes (I live in Norway, and that is expencive), so I want to try the EDID thing.

So if you don't have the EDID or a smart answer, then ....

Plus you never specified even what your problem was. When you connect to a monitor via DVI or HDMI, an EDID is transferred to your PC.

I didn't explain the problem 'cause I have read so much about it, but maybe you know the solution for my problem. Here we go.

I have two of these monitors. Both of them have the same problem. I got them from a guy who didn't know what to do with them, so I thought I would give it a try.

The screens get recognized by the computer, but it won't show any picture. The panels works just fine, since the searching for device appears and the "can't find anything" message bounces around the screen, which indicates nothings wrong.

I have tried to connect it to both VGA and HDMI, and I have tried to upgrade the firmware, and install the drivers downloaded from samsung. I have done the firmwareupdate on windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.1 and 10. I have also tried to connect the monitors to a Fedora 22 computer.
The firmwareupdatesoftware tells me that the newest firmware is installed and there is no need for update. If the newest firmware is installed, i don't know, but I know that I would love to force a new firmware update. That seems to be a problem.

After all this, I thought of buying new main boards for the monitors. They costs $50 each. So I thought a little bit more investigation would be smart. I found this page, and another page, and another ... that told me something about some EDID. I have search the net for these files with out luck.
I don't have the knowledge to troubleshoot the codes, so I thought that an original EDID would be the safest way.

I think that's about it.

What it could be is that the HDMI, DVI, and VGA ports on the monitors are all broken and won't recognize any cable at all. This is not an EDID issue, an EDID issue would be something like the monitor not declaring its native resolution properly. So yes, I think the boards are fried on those, or whatever the interface that handles all video input is called.

 

[MikaelBrun]

From what I have read, this could be a fault in the EDID, so I'll give it a try. Either way, this is a cheap try. The monitors get recognized by the computer, and the behaviour of the monitors when I connect them, makes me think they recognize the computer too.

Hmm if that's the case than perhaps it is an EDID issue. Not sure how you'll get it.
