JefferysGhost Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 So I finally got around to installing the composite video mod from Vintage Gaming and More. When I first hooked it back up, it worked fine, but, after putting the top back on, it didn't even power up. After inspection, the black ground input wire had come loose from the board. The trace had de-laminated from the board and broken loose, so I resolldered the black wire to another place nearby on the same trace. Now it works against, but I've got no sound. Any suggestions?

+xucaen Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 did you put the metal plate back on perhaps crushing the yellow wire? I did that and it caused the wire to ground against the plate thus causing no sound. See this: http://youtu.be/FNsEChrT8EE?t=7m35s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JefferysGhost Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Drilling a hole in the metal box (as others have done), and routing the yellow wire thru that, is the solution. My yellow wire was grounding where it was sandwiched between the circuit board and the inside of that metal box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 You guys replace the RF shielding after modding? I'm not sure I've ever bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
