I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting. It seems you are talking about checking the .fx file, right? But surely if that was the problem, then it wouldn't work in the new isolated code either.
This is the working code:

It is pretty much how it is in the game. With the obvious exception of the positioning. The media is as it is in the 'Shader Pack' although I have changed the colour of the image.
I have performed a search through my code and there is no reference to
vHologram,
iHologram or
fxHologram other than the ones that should be there and there is no other code that changes any effect constants. So, I am very confused as to where to look for an error.
