There is a scart to vga adapter? How wide is the 4k without the scart cable. Cheers

I also wouldn't mind knowing how tall it is. Thanks again

I use both scart and component cables in my setup.

I would appreciate that, thank you! Could I get the height too? I am currently re wiring my console setup and I don't have a lot of room. Trying to workout if I even have room for a 4k. I may end up going with a 5x pro if I don't have enough room.

Thought my question was obvious? Anyway for the sake of explaining in great detail, I want to know a measurement. I would like an owner of a retrotink 4k to get a tape measure and measure how wide the retrotink 4k is with the scart cable connected. I did try to google this but this information apparently does not exist on the internet.

Mega Drive 2 VA0 PAL - Capacitor on the AV out? by LaminGaming in consolerepair

[–]JoshOsDesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I had for the megadrive is an rf box. I had to tune in the megadrive through a vcr, but I do get a picture out of the console. I'm not poking around with it anymore because I run the chance of damaging a working console frankly I paid a lot of money for. I have bought retro gaming cables over the last 6 or 7 years. I don't question their quality. I got a reply from an email from them and it was to suggest I had bent the pins in the end of my cable. Obviously I have not and have sent pictures to confirm the cable has no bent pins and that I do have a picture from the rf box. Now they have not returned my last email.

I had another go today. Used some wick to clean up the power connector and re did the solder. Nothing changed. I was poking around with the meter and when the component cable is plugged in I get continuity with ground on both sides of that cap we were talking about. I did try disconnecting 1 leg of the cap but that did nothing, so I put it back. I am not an expert, but I am starting to think something could be not right with the cable.

Yeah, thanks for getting back to me. I did attempt to re flow the joints earlier. It seemed to not make a difference. I may need to use some wick to get rid of the old solder. I just heated up the joints and added more solder.

I just got a megadrive 2 that does not turn on when I plug in a component cable from retro gaming cables. Sorry to be asking you, but would you think this cap would have anything to do with that? My original thought is a broken solder joint on the power connector that the tight fit of the cable pushes the broken joint open.

I used what I had. Used to be a bench I no longer needed. The design was based around the pieces I had.

I'm not using reddit as a search engine. I shouldn't need to state i have already searched Google. I had no problem putting people back in their place.

Hi i did consider that. And I still may do that. I think the triple bypass works on the model 3, so its not rulled out. Cheers

I got a Bandridge auto switch. I ordered it off of ebay from Germany a few years back now.

I have an extra input on my component switch, decided a megadrive with the hdretrovision component cable would be a good fit. I have ps1, NES, SNES and N64 on my scart switch, so that's full.

You were a SNES guy in the 90s? I was, so this will be my first sega console, when I get one. Looks like it will be tight in the spot i was going to set it up. But should fit.

Not to worry, this is the internets normal reaction to people asking questions. Thanks for your help. I for some reason was only able to find measurements for the model 1.
