I believe the issue is that the beosystem 3 is expecting a beovision connected to it on the serial port. Luckily (as I remember, you just need to short a couple of pins on the MONITOR connector - the middle two on the bottom 'thinner' set - the one with the 4 pins - not the 5 pins.
Doing that, then the screen should fire up. you then have to go into the service menu and set monitor autodetect off and set it up as a non-B&O monitor.
Good luck!

Shorten pin 2 und pin 3
oim1212:Thanks for the answer, what do you mean by short ? Can you describe how I do that. Sorry for the late answer
In this context, 'short' means simply to connect the pins together. Best to do so using wire/solder inside the connector (solder side).
From the diagram and explanation, it appears to be pins 7 and 8 that you should connect, rather than 2 and 3.
This refers to Beosystem 2 only (shorten 2 pins).
It should work with Beosystem 3 out of the box - if you there is autodect screen/display availabe in the menu... do not remember if this has to be turn on or off. Search the forum. So you might need a BeoVision 4 screen just for the initial setup...
Any chance you can conect a monitor via DVI to the output of the Beosystem to test it first?
