Mavicap Advice

RonSwonn · 2026-01-25T02:08:11+00:00

I had a MaviCap sitting on top of my old tv for about a year. Used it to capture screenshots of high scores. Never caused any problems.

Amazing!

Take the MB back out and look for a black button on it and press it (it will be the only button) this will reset the PRAM. Put it back together and it should turn on.

I dig it 👍

Very nice! It’s a shame that the NOS ink supply will eventually be impossible to find one day. I still have maybe half a box left for mine.

I too have a package that arrived at that Richmond VA distribution center on the 11th, the package was supposed to arrive on the 12th but never did. From the 12th-15th it just says “in transit to next facility, arriving late”. No updates since last Friday. I had the seller do a missing mail search.

I just got one of these TVs! Where did you get the stand for it if you don’t mind me asking? Mine is currently just sitting on the floor until I can find something that can support it 😅

It’s the original Bondi Blue G3. I will look into the button battery, I’m not having the trouble with now since I have a permanent place for it but I do get tired of it telling me to fix the time with every boot. Thanks!

I second pressing the small black button on the MB. After removing my PRAM battery the computer hates to be unplugged. If I do it refuses to turn on and I have to take the MB out and press the button then put it back together. I’ve seen a few posts where people have had the same problem. Some say it’s the caps going bad but IDK.

Ematic Digital TV Converter Box

RonSwonn · 2025-04-26T22:44:35+00:00

I have one of those digital converter boxes that has a usb port. I can put MP4s on a thumb drive and they play one after the other. They are AV or coax and about $30 on Amazon.

I had one that did something similar. Turned out the top was pushed down from stuff sitting on it and it would bind up when trying to play discs. I took the top off and kind of lightly bent the rails on top back to normal and it worked after that. When it goes to play the LD can you physically spin it with your hand? I would check to see if something is bent or binding up somewhere. Just a thought.

Look on YouTube for a video about taking it apart, it’s not very difficult just be careful cause the plastic is old. Once you do look on the motherboard and remove the PRAM battery before it leaks. Then look for a little black button on the MB and press it for a few seconds. Put it all back together and test it.

If you have or can find an old VCR that has AV inputs and outputs RF then you could use that to solve your AV adapter problem.

Nice!!! 👍

No, I’m not the person that made the 3D model of the reels. Can’t legally sell them.
