Zinister Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I have a question. I updated my Phoenix to the latest service release. Since I did the update I no longer see the boot screen to press # on so I can install and update the other cores. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartsfam Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Yes!! I got mine today! Perfect timing. The wife is away for a week with her sister. Plenty of time to get to know the Phoenix! All is working fine on my Samsung TV! Very impressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtshark7 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Are they going to update the cores anytime soon? I got mine yesterday and it came with the latest cores. However, when I went to play Heist, it would keep rebooting the game when I went to play the game.Anyone else have this issue with Heist? I know my copy works because I tried it on a standard CV with no issues.Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tron Unit Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Well boo just hooked upmy Phoenix I get sound no picture at all. Same issue on different HDMI ports.

I am beyond frustrated after waiting so long and this is what I get. I can’t even crack the case open because it will ruin the sticker on the front.

There are four screws on the bottom, one hidden under one of the rubber feet. Gently remove that rubber foot and you'll easily be able to stick it back on afterwards. Remove those four screws and you'll be able to open the unit up. The spring may have become dislodged in transit and if that's the cse is easily reseated.

Tron Unit Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 The problem is the lower half of the sticker on mine is covering right over the case seam so even if I unscrew it will crease the sticker when I have to lift it back to see what’s going on inside.

The front sticker is all a part of the bottom assembly. You can take it apart without touching or moving the sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing I wanted to do was crack the case open and jack it up. Ok so I got it off and the tension spring was off from the recessed slot on the hinge. Put it back. It worked. Put a cartridge in and pulled it out and it came out of the groove again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Also there is no need to update the service menu on the second batch. If you "revert" a second batch phoenix to the service menu posted on the first page in the thread, the video will not work. The menu will still function but nothing on the screen. SO you will need to update blind by pressing # then 3. You should then see the led change to purple while updating and then back to the green. Service Core for Second Batch Phoenix(only needed if accidently flashed with previous service menu). There is no reason to update a first revision phoenix with this version.

This was in response to Zinister's post about flashing old service menu. The system were shipped with the latest version, but in this instance an old "incompatible" version was flashed which caused video to cut out Edited April 26, 2021 by Bmack36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same issue on different HDMI ports. My Samsung QLED does not recognize a source signal. Audio is going through my Yamaha receiver. To your original issue you can find more info here: https://github.com/CollectorVision/Phoenix-Colecovision/issues/1 Does it do the same thing when hooked directly to the TV instead of through the receiver? One solution is to get this adapter which fixes the unsupported video on my Samsung TV: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KVRYWDF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&fbclid=IwAR3aOmJ4kHvpCSFnk3T81CL50RvnfY96thHYOBp4Tzvk6Y7ycyXlfZ3wMDQ It says it is HDMI to composite, but it has HDMI passthrough which works on mine.

Ugh I already have that scaler for my Colecovision. That really kind of defeats the entire point of upgrading to the Phoenix then as all of the video is being scaled through that box which is what I was looking forward to eliminating. I read it coukd be an HDCP compliance issue with the HDMI cable not supporting it? Maybe get an HDMI 3.0 cable instead of the one that was included?
