      Hi, I have a HDMI to VGA adapter (generic from ebay) with audio out. I have configured retropie to send audio out via analog port. I have issue with VGA output that intermittently turns off / on. There is a 20 sec on phase and a 5 second off phase. Can someone tell me what to edit to boost power into HDMI for sustained video output.

      BTW I am using RPI2 Retropie 3.5

        In /boot/config.txt add

        'config_hdmi_boost=4'

        This will boost signal. value ranges from 0 to 7 max. Try and see if any works.

          Thanks, that line is already there, I uncommented it... Still has moments of blank screen but not as frequent. ..
