+CyranoJ Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi, Can anyone offer any suggestions regarding this 2600 with A/V MOD? It's all working fine, but I'm only getting audio out of one channel. All the connections look good to me, I'm at a loss as to what to try. The audio to to white port (2nd from right) works, the middle one is just silent. At the least, is there an easy way to get both channels merged into that one output? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluxit Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Your connection to TIA 13 looks like a cold joint to me, but the resolution of your images is too low to tell if it's just in shadow. If you have a multimeter, I would use it to check from that pin(the pin itself, where it is not covered in solder) to the brown wire's connection on the mod board for high resistance. Also check if that pin is shorted to ground. In any case, if you haven't added flux and then reflowed all of the brown wire connections, you might want to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 OK, so the white pin on the TIA wasn't connected properly, but there also doesn't seem to be anything coming from that pin at all ? [EDIT] Confirmed - Nothing coming out of TIA 12 Is this a dead chip or anything else anyone can suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluxit Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm a bit confused, didn't you say that the white port was the one was working? That's what is connected to the white wire with the brown stripe, isn't it? What games are you using to test? Some games don't actually use both channels.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Is this a PAL console? If so...the PAL TIA only has one audio channel from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 So if you plug in combat you are only hearing sounds from one of the players then? If so, it might be worth it to swap the wires and see if the issue is with the TIA chip itself or something on the AV upgrade board perhaps? If you find that the issue is only with the AV board, then you can simply tie both of the wires from the pins off the TIA to the one audio on the AV board that appears to be working. Then from there, the single audio output line that is working from the AV board, you route it to both left/right RCAs to at least get yourself dual mono. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Cade Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It's a much more solid mechanical connection to solder to the pins under the chip socket (back side of the board) than to hang solder off the pins like that. Don't use it like glue... It's not glue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've confirmed its the TIA Ordered another one. Thanks everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
