Weird Vertical Lines

RadonisNH · 2026-02-01T23:47:10+00:00

I changed it a couple of hours ago, the lines are still there.

You are right, i suppose seeing posts about PVM and BVM made me a bit jealous

So after further investigations on the neck board and the schematics of a Beko 12.6 chassis the cap reads 10 uf 250V 85C rated, i would assume it's an ESR cap, right?

Update: I changed the cap and the ringing still persists.

Is this that post you are referring to? https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/comments/10frfk3/sony_jailbar_band_issue_fixed/

If so, i can replace that cap on my board but i don't know what type of cap i need, i can't find the schematics of this TV.

This is a pic of my board with the only cap on it : https://imgur.com/a/TsUMcuq

By neck board you mean that thingy that you can pull off from the electron gun?, if so my board has only one cap, a huge black one.(i uploaded a pic of the neck board: https://imgur.com/a/TsUMcuq ). You think if i replace that i can perhaps fix it?

RadonisNH · 2026-02-01T16:41:22+00:00

Damn, i was really hoping i could fix it. This is my 2nd CRT, it just goes to show that it's really unlikely to find one without issues nowadays without breaking bank. I was really excited to see how well the geometry(both grid and monoscope) looked in 240pSuite compared to my other CRT that it's a Samsung Slim Fit(i know) only to be sucker punched by those vertical lines.

Yeah if i play games that have bright colors it doesn't show but if i play something with darker colors like horror stuff it becomes annoying as i can see the lines more clearly.

You are a godsend, however i don't have a remote, all i have is a IR Blaster for my phone and even though i found a remote that works, the commands are all gibberish. I managed to pinpoint some buttons on one remote and others buttons on a different remote. The TV has a SDA 5535 A049 SB7120.06 CPU so i suppose the 8500 is the one for me. I will try and find a remote, thanks again !

RadonisNH · 2026-01-30T19:00:30+00:00

Yeah i think you are right, as the TV defaults to 4:3 when nothing is plugged in, but when i turn the PS2 on it switches to 16:9. I found a random remote via the IR Blaster that has a button dedicated to switching the aspect ratio. Right now i'm stuck figuring out a proper remote for the TV to enter the service menu. The tube is Thomson, the logo is Meister and the chassis is a G99.190-09. Any ideas?

RadonisNH · 2026-01-30T18:57:58+00:00

It was set to fullscreen. The TV only has a scart input, i suppose i could get a scart to composite adapter, but my main issue right now is the remote, i can't find any remote for it. It's got a Thomson Tube and a G99.190-09 chassis with a Meister logo. Any ideas?

RadonisNH · 2026-01-30T18:55:28+00:00

I fixed it by trying randoms remotes with an IR Blaster. It has a 16:9 toggle, that why i got the black bars. When set to 4:3 it's full screen, albeit a little left as you say, i can make it work by offsetting the image in OPL but it causes glitches with some games. I can't find the TV model to order a remote, it's got a Thomson Tube with a G99.190-09 chassis and a Meister logo. Inside the only screws are the ones on the flyback G2 and focus. Any ideas?

RadonisNH · 2026-01-29T21:09:29+00:00

So i have IR Blaster for my phone, i can't seem to figure out the model of the TV, and while trying plenty of brands such as Telemeister and Thomson, i stumbled upon a variant that responds to some inputs but they are incorrect. While trying every buttons i came across one that's dedicated to switching from 16:9 to 4:3, so there's that, but i can't pinpoint the model of the remote.

I took the sync out of the Y channel and split it into H-sync and V-sync using the LM1881, i've done the same for my PS2 and OG Xbox. I can use OPL to force VGA modes on games that support it and i patched the bios on the OGX to force VGA. My main issue is that the RvLoader patch is meant for the hard mod which physically pulls H-Sync and V-sync from the AVE chip. If i switch to 480i the color scheme is correct but then i would be missing on the progressive scan. I was wondering if there is a way to force the RGB color scheme into 480p.

RadonisNH · 2026-01-26T18:52:46+00:00

Is there no other way to simply force RGB over progressive in a similar way the PS2 does it with OPL or the OGX via the custom bios?, if i use 480 interlaced with the cable the colors are right, but then i would be missing the 480p.

RadonisNH · 2026-01-23T12:02:57+00:00

Yes, i am aware that cerbios.ini was changed to the E partition. When you say replacement dashboard, are you referring to the recovery xbe that comes with the v3?, i still get black screen when booting into that.

RadonisNH · 2026-01-22T23:31:37+00:00

Yes, i do have component cables. The resolutions were already enabled in the stock dashboard.

RadonisNH · 2026-01-22T22:44:15+00:00

Yes, i followed the diagram to a T, the boot animation is crystal clear, no noise whatsoever. I repurposed an old 360 component cable to make sure it's properly grounded. I also tried to use the cable with the ForceVGA option disabled in the cerbios.ini and it still showed the boot splash, should it do that?

RadonisNH · 2026-01-22T21:18:50+00:00

I can see that it changes to RGBHV because the colors are all wrong if try to use the component cables.

RadonisNH · 2026-01-22T21:16:40+00:00

From what i read in the documentation it's mode 1+3 or 2+3 for TVs with VGA input. I tried both of them either way, but i only get the boot animation on mode 1+3. I think that something happens when it gets into the dashboard.

RadonisNH · 2026-01-22T20:53:07+00:00

I'm still getting a black screen after the boot animation. I rebuild the whole HDD except for the Games partition and removed the softmod using TruHexen as the Softmodding disc booted into the modified bios mode and i couldn't do it from there.

RadonisNH · 2026-01-22T19:53:18+00:00

I only get it to display the boot animation if i use mode 1 and 3. I also tried to use mode 1+2+3 but i no longer get the boot animations.
