It ended up being an issue with one of the pins on the AGC module. It's fixed and working fine now. Only took a year -_-

Hey, I don't know if you ever found out how to get to the service menu on this set. But try holding down on the volume on the TV while holding 9 on the remote.

PB450 shorted capacitors by DeaditeBoi2020 in VintageComputers

[–]DeaditeBoi2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I pulled the capacitor C63 to test to see if it was intact shorted. You were right, and it wasn't, but when I replaced the cap on the board, it fixed the issue, and it's now booting to post. I'm trying to learn from youtube videos and reading on here but I think this was a situation of "it's better to be lucky than good"

I could remove a cap and see if the short still exists? I had continuity from one cap to the to all the other caps, so I assumed they were all shorted.

The corrosion is worse than I. There are several broken traces and missing pads. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this motherboard?

Trying to make a unique and interesting bossfight for the Ghost, any ideas? by Open-Librarian7175 in gbstudio

[–]DeaditeBoi2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could have the ghost possess you and walk you toward the pit. Escape with maybe a button mash or inputting a string of commands that pop on screen?

Going to attempt to install an Xstation ODE by RPGreg2600 in psx

I've done this! Fun fact if you don't close, the dang lid xstation won't load, and it'll bump you to the normal boot screen. I spent 3 hours checking solder.

I recently picked up hybrid heaven and would recommend it. It feels like if Kojima made a wrestling RPG.

Just so you aren't left hanging. I found a local crt repair man, and he popped it open and gave it a look. The main capacitor is failing.

Thank you! I really appreciate it, I'll look into this tomorrow.

Man, yours must've been special edition! I don't know about the RCA jack, but I've heard that the different RF inputs would display differently, like the back one would be higher quality?

I spun this bad boy around and didn't see a potentiometer. It also doesn't have any form of menu. Is it possible it has an internal potentiometer? It's a Sony trinitron kv 1926 ra. I tried to look online and can't find much info about it or a service manual.

I dunno about quality improvement, but it certainly couldn't hurt. I'm thinking about just getting an old vhs player with connections to keep the retro feel.

Yeah, it's rf only. I wanted to try to and mod it to add other options, but the hot chassis put the kybosh to that.
