bradhig1 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I bought a modded colecovision from Yurkie years ago and the av video gives me a garbled picture. I'm using this username cause the paranoid security won't let me log in to my old username after I changed the password several and locks that account for an hour.

fiddlepaddle Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Did you have a question, or are you just announcing your situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Was your mod the one with the LM318 or the transistor? The transistor mod has been known to overheat. It might need to be replaced or repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 If it's something you can't handle diagnosing and repairing yourself, I would suggest contacting Yurkie via PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 The part that is modded has a metal cover on it so I can't see if anything is broken there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightywiz Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 if its under the metal cover then it's probably the transistor mod and the transistor has probably gone bad. try it on an old school tv first and see what you get, might be that your hd tv is just not compatible with the signal from the colecovision.

bradhig1 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I tried it using the rf connection and got the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Have you tried contacting Yurkie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightywiz Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 but did you try an old school tv yet? it may just be the LCD tv causing the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
