nolram Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi guys, I'm having issues where the screen is just black and white ( I changed the 555 timer and check the artifacing circuit). Now im also getting random characters on the screen. Here's a video of what is happening Any help would be appreciated.

MrDave Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) I would clean the board with 99% alcohol. Remove chips from the socket and clean . Then with a q tip wipe a little wd-40 on the pins and re socket everything .. especially the big chip near the video out, that's the video chip Edited January 19, 2020 by MrDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_L Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I think Mr Dave is on the right track. In particular, remove the VDG chip (MC6847) near the RF modulator, and check the RF modulator solder connections for a cracked connection, something like that can be fixed pretty easily by simply reflowing the solder on any cold (cracked) joints.

MrDave Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Yes i should be a little more detailed about ckeaning the board. UNPLUG MACHINE Use compressed air.. alchool & swabs to clean your board Then inspect for any faults . Like john said cracked solder joints... check all the capacitors if they have leaked or are bubbled up slightly on top. Even without test equippment you can do alot. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolram Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Ok so I got it working. The 2n3904 Q2 was bent and two legs touching each other. Thanks for the help.Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDave Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hey that's good news.. one of the best tools for older boards is your eyes ! If it does not look right., it probably isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
