Here is the other board that’s not displaying video either

I recently picked up a couple of 3DO FZ-1 and neither of them will display any video. Both of them have been recapped, I’ve tried with the cd drive in, with the usb loader, with no drive. It powers on ok but not even the 3DO splash screen comes up. What could I be missing and what else can I try? Thanks!!!

If you’re still taking pre-orders I’d love to get one!

Pre-order position 217. Looks like 3rd batch for me. Doesn’t matter. Thanks for making this happen @SainT

Maybe it’s broke 😂😜

@Stephen Moss That’s way more of an answer than I was hoping for, you the man! I was thinking of option 1. But what are the drawbacks if any to doing this? Seems like it should have been something everyone does.

I saw someone was replacing the 2600 power jack with a mini usb plug. Just curious if anyone knows how they might be doing this? Maybe using a breakout board or a converter?

Got mine! Love it!!!! Thanks so much

That is what I suspected that happened. I have about 20 systems that I need to mod and if there was a good way to do HDMI I would have loved to but I'll stick with composite. Thanks for the answer!!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but there is someone on facebook (Video Game Repair) and eBay (Retromachinerepair) who is HDMI modding 2600s but he's not giving any info how or selling kits. Any ideas to what he's doing? I'm assuming that he is just using an upscaler

Anxiously awaiting! Thank you @SainT for your hard work on this!!!!

How long does it usually take him to respond? I’ve placed the order via his webpage, I believe he needs to send me a PayPal invoice?

Yay!!! Soon!!!

Paid, cant wait!

Is love one if any are still available!!!

Hey McWill! Do you have any of the Game Gear screens available?

Took forever but not looking too bad for my 1st Atari mod

I finally got the damn thing working!! I de-soldered the connections for the controller and re-soldered them and voila, it worked. Looks like there's more testing to be done just to be sure everything works. It's a Smurf/Kangaroo kinda night tonight!

The problem was the LEDs that I soldered in. I soldered them to the voltage regulator and it was drawing too much power. I moved the LEDs directly to the power switch, replaced the voltage regulator and it now stays on. I have a new problem that has arisen. Everything works with the case apart but when I screw it back together I can't move down. I've replaced the joystick port, tried multiple joysticks on multiple systems. I haven't troubleshooted it in depth but I assume when I screw the case down something is touching somewhere that shouldn't be

Not the problem. It's still turning off intermittently What else could I replace? Other than the whole thing, haha

Just got new power supplies and have had it running for about 30min now. Hopefully that was the problem

Photos of the console?

I took off the LED but I can't undo the AV mod. I switched AV boards and it worked great in another Atari.

I don't have a way to monitor it. I replaced the voltage regulator and it's still doing the same thing
