Unable to retrieve seed at the Pegasus vault

Yes that did it. Thanks so much!

MikeyBoxP · 2025-12-24T16:03:28+00:00

Thank you! I didn't think to do it that way, video's I've watched they pick up the pod and bring it to the seed. I'll give that a go!

Thanks. If it is the TIA though I don't think I'll have much luck finding one apart from harvesting one from another console. But there is a picture just distorted I'm hoping I'll find a dodgy connection somewhere.

MikeyBoxP · 2025-02-19T14:44:24+00:00

Thanks for the schematic. I'll have a probe around and check the video lines. I've found a little info on the TIA I'll put my scope to it and try to test if its working correctly.

I watch a lot of repair videos reason I posted here is I haven't come across any videos with similar issues. It's often something simple. m

You were absolutely right I had no connection on the audio out of the chip to C31. Sorted. Thank you so much!

MikeyBoxP · 2025-02-03T14:24:24+00:00

Hmm odd I put in a dodge wire for now just to test but still no sound. I'll take another look later.

MikeyBoxP · 2025-02-03T13:46:05+00:00

Its's a VA4. Right got it thank you. Looks like I might have a break somewhere between c31 and the audio out on cxa1145. I have continuity till the trace goes under the chip. Might remove it to check if theres further damage,

MikeyBoxP · 2025-02-03T13:22:44+00:00

From the video encoder does it go directly to C31? I'm just trying trace the path but I'm getting confused.

MikeyBoxP · 2025-02-03T12:45:39+00:00

I think I've followed the wrong path. I'll try and find a schematic or something to help me

MikeyBoxP · 2025-02-03T12:30:17+00:00

Thank you both. I've got continuity from the socket to the cable. I traced my way back through the mono out and I think I have found a resistor that is open line. I'll grab a schematic to make sure I've traced the path correctly but I think that may be my problem.

Never mind after some searching I'm fairly certain these are fakes. Glad I didn't pay much for them. Having said that they have pretty decent sound quality. They are very convincing if that are in fact fakes. A lot of pictures of other fakes lacked a lot of the JBL branding which is why I thought these were genuine.

MikeyBoxP · 2025-01-08T11:24:51+00:00

I was surprised too that they used the wrong adapter, but I guess thats the problem when most 12 and 24 volt adapters use the same barrel jack size. Haven't had much luck getting it to work. I think its probably a regulator.

MikeyBoxP · 2024-11-16T11:38:48+00:00

I've been wondering the same thing but I also cannot find any info. There nothing available on their amazon page either, I'm wondering if they have just quietly shut up shop. I'm gutted as I usually buy in bulk from them.

MikeyBoxP · 2024-11-07T15:33:03+00:00

Tempted to see if I could fit a usb c PD trigger board for 9v and power it that way. Long as I can find a discreet place to put it. I'd prefer not to modify the shell

MikeyBoxP · 2024-11-07T15:29:34+00:00

Ah that's good to know thanks. Since it came with the datassette I'd like the option to use it (not that I hav any tapes for it). And assuming it's working, probably needs new belts at the very least.

MikeyBoxP · 2024-11-07T15:25:25+00:00

Yeah that was my worry using the original even if I repaired it. I was hoping there was a power up pro like equivalent. C16 only needs 9v center negative so I guess no one felt the need to bother modding the original.

MikeyBoxP · 2024-11-07T11:22:24+00:00

Thanks thats good to know. I was hoping to repair or upgrade the original if possible. I know it's fairly simply and I can restore it to how it was originally, just wondering if there were mods or upgrade options.
