I used them last time about 3 months ago, everything was fine. I took them again today, plugged them in and all i got is a blue screen.
Usb power is ok since they turn on, headtracking works as i see the values changing in the iwear monitor, vga is ok too since the iwear monitor tells me they're the primary adapter and stereoscopy can be turned on...
I've also tried them on another computer, just to be sure it wasn't something software...
So, what could be the cause? what can i do to narrow down the problem? should i just send them to vuzix to get them repaired?

Any hint is HIGHLY welcomed

Maybe you already made it, but to be sure, check that output frequency to VR920 is set to 60Hz (Not 59 as some adapters can notice, but 60Hz), and double-check that you use 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution.

Thanks! That was the right idea, but i haven't solved the whole problem yet.
Resolution was set to 640x480, when i changed it to 800x600 the glasses started working again (they works with 1024x768 too). so i can say it's not an hardware problem.
But i still can't use them as primary and only monitor. If i set them to clone with the laptop display they works (but no stereo 3d...) while if i set them alone as the only monitor, i see again the blue screen...
is this a video card driver problem? i have an nvidia 8600m gs, am i supposed to install the old nvidia 3d drivers? in the months between the last usage i formatted the pc and now i've realized i'm not so confident with this tech as i thought so any hint is welcome

Fixed! I'm so happy =)
Just upgrading to the latest nvidia drivers made the trick
Thanks Mnemonic for pointing me to the right direction =)
