I was using a Tendak converter from my OSSC to my Diamond Pro with 2 vga inputs and one day it just stopped working. I've plugged my computer into the input the tendak was on and it works so I know there is no problem with the input. I have verified the hdmi cable in my OSSC works with my TV. I've attempted to use other devices like my PS3 and still nothing. I even purchased a new Tendak converter and still no dice. I just can't figure out why my monitor won't accept the input anymore. I'm thinking of getting a powered converter to see if it will do the trick but I have very little outlets available so the tendak was perfect when it worked I just don't know what changed.
I would think maybe this is an OSSC related question and you should ask in a main OSSC thread.
Basically, you have to figure out what's changed. It's unlikely that it's the tendak because you swapped it and it still doesn't work. There aren't any settings on the Tendak, not likely you goofed something up. The problem most likely lies in the monitor settings or the OSSC.
There are some timing and sync options in the OSSC you may have altered in some way that could account for it. I'm not an expert in the menu, so I can't help with that.
The monitor should be fairly easy to check out the menu and make sure you didn't alter anything. You could try to do a reset on the monitor and see if that helps.
My monitor from the early 2000's has some sync controls on it, and I have used it to dial in some signals that were jumpy in the past. Sharpness settings can also effect sync.
Worst case scenario, something is physically wrong or worn out in one of the two devices.
Another easy thing to try is a different converter. The Portta converter seems to be preferred by many people over the Tendak. You could try that one.
