louisg Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) I've got an older Odyssey 2 (the kind with the beige switchbox that it needs), and I'm having video trouble. I've attached a quick video of what it does. It looks like it switches on for a split second, turns off, repeat..? I had a buddy go over and check the power supply, check the traces on the board, and still no difference. We also tried tapping the RF directly off the internal RF convertor, bypassing the proprietary cable that comes off the back. I'm hoping this is a problem someone else has encountered.

toiletunes Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 If possible, try it with a different tv. Also, just to be sure, the O2 can be set to channel 3 or 4- try both settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metarog Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Is that a flat screen tv? My O2 did the same thing on my modern tv but worked great on a CRT. If it doesnt work on a CRT then one of the main chips could be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Is that you power cycling it on and off or is it doing that by itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisg Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 It's a CRT. Tried both 3 and 4, no dice. Nope, it's power cycling by itself, or appearing to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Can you take it apart and post pictures of the board top and bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
